 PROFILE
Golden Books Family Entertainment hopes to shine again. One of the nation's largest children's books publishers, the company has filed for Chapter 11, for the second time, as part of its sale to animation firm DIC Entertainment. But Random House and Classic Media have joined to enter a last-minute bid for Golden Books. It publishes such perennials as "The Poky Little Puppy" and "Pat the Bunny" and has licensing agreements with Warner Brothers (Scooby Doo), Mattel (Barbie), and Nintendo ("Pokemon"). Golden Books also has a home video library of classic TV shows and specials such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Lassie" and licenses its properties to third parties. It sold its adult publishing and printing divisions in 1999. Investment firm Bennett Management controls about 21% of Golden Books.
