Last year around the time when Disney·Pixar's Inside Out hit theaters, I was a bit disappointed when the Little Golden Book based on the film (that was planned to be released) didn't end up happening (you can see the original cover art HERE). Instead, a "spin-off" Little Golden Book, called The Bing Bong Book, took its place. That one was cute and all, but I was really looking forward to seeing Inside Out get the Little Golden Book treatment. Plus, there was now a void in my collection. I wonder what happened there?
Well, it turns out the book wasn't completely cancelled—just delayed 10 months (for whatever the reason). Unbeknownst to me, this Inside Out Little Golden Book was finally released just a couple months ago on April 5th! How on earth did this slip past my radar? A big thanks to the back cover of the Finding Dory Little Golden Book for informing me. ;)
Like usual, this is a a very simplified version of the story geared
towards young children. It's extremely cute and nicely written, though you'll
notice some very key scenes and themes from the film are missing (but that's completely understandable). For a film as complex as Inside Out
