         This  Amendment  No. 2 amends the Schedule  13D filed by the  Reporting
Entities  on  February  13,  1996,  as amended by  Amendment  No. 1 filed by the
Reporting Entities on May 16, 1996 (together,  the "Schedule 13D"),  relating to
the Common  Stock,  par value $0.01 per share (the  "Common  Stock"),  of Golden
Books Family  Entertainment,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation,  and is being filed
pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended  (the  "Exchange  Act").  Unless  otherwise
indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

         Introductory Note.

         The  Reporting   Entities  are  hereby  reporting  a  change  in  their
beneficial  ownership percentage of the Common Stock caused by the receipt by GP
Holding of dividends of Common Stock received or to be received by GP Holding on
February  1,  1997  and May 1,  1997.  As a  result  of such  transactions,  the
percentage  of Common Stock that may be deemed to be  beneficially  owned by the
Reporting Entities decreased from 37.3% to 34.7%.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting  subparagraphs
(a) and (b) therein and replacing them with the following:

          (a)  and  (b).  GP  Holding  may be  deemed  to  beneficially  own the
3,996,771 shares of Common Stock to which the Irrevocable  Proxies relate.  This
number is expected to decrease, as such shares are entitled to be transferred to
third  parties  pursuant to the terms of the  Irrevocable  Proxies.  Each of the
Reporting Entities may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the voting
of such shares and therefore to beneficially  own such shares.  To the knowledge
of the Reporting Entities, the power to direct the disposition of such shares is
held by Richard Bernstein and certain of his affiliates.  GP Holding may also be
deemed to  beneficially  own the 6,500,000  shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares. Each of the Reporting Entities may be deemed
to  share  the  power  to vote and  dispose  of such  shares  and  therefore  to
beneficially  own such shares.  Based on the  25,339,743  shares of Common Stock
outstanding  on September  13, 1996 (as reported by the Company in its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q dated  September  16, 1996 and treating as  outstanding  the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of the Preferred  Shares),  the
Reporting Entities beneficially own approximately 34.7% of the

<PAGE>


voting power relating to the Common Stock.  In addition,  GP Holding is entitled
to  receive  780,000  shares of  Common  Stock  annually  as a  dividend  on the
Preferred  Shares through May 8, 2000,  subject to  adjustment,  as described in
Item 6.  Pursuant  thereto,  GP Holding  received such a dividend on February 1,
1997.
