Variations
|
First printing also came with a dust jacket (not shown) and does not say "A Giant Golden Book" at the bottom of book cover. Subsequent printings do. Some printings say "Walt Disney Library" in place of the former. There are several variations to the back cover.

Comments
|
Originally came with dust jacket (Wanted). Mary Blair, who was a background artist for Song of the South, also drew the second cover style for this same book in the 1960's. Mary's artwork for this book's cover design was also used on the sleeves of Golden Record RD27 and reused as Disney Record D27.
