[plt-scheme] online version of _The Little Schemer_?

In that case, I urge you to work through HtDP instead.
It is on-line, it is a "long" version of TLL (at least
the reason I am co-author on TLL) and I believe it is
an improvement because it spells out the design process,
which is totally totally implicit in TLL.
