First Edition, First Printing Verification Points for Collectors:
This copy contains all the key identifying markers of a true first edition, first printing:

Dust Jacket Back Panel: The rear of the dust jacket features three panels listing other Beginner Books titles.5 The final title listed is ?LITTLE BLACK GOES TO THE CIRCUS.?6 This is the key distinguishing point from later printings and the ?Fox in Sox? second state.
Book Boards: The book?s boards are the correct pictorial design consistent with the first edition.
Publisher: The title page correctly lists ?BEGINNER BOOKS A Division of Random House, Inc.?8
