Little Golden Books » Trivia

What is the difference between the Big Golden book and the Little Golden Book?

At first, I thought this was just a bigger size of the "Little Golden Book" (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0736430512). It isn't - the Little Golden Book version is only 24 pages and is meant to be a quick version of the story. The Big Golden Book is 64 pages and includes many more scenes from the story.
