too big a piece

What's the difference between too big a piece and a too big piece?

Don't give him too big a piece/ a too big piece of treat. He'll choke.
Thanks

Books 1 - 5 of 5 on "a too big piece" . Books 1 - 10 of 327 on "too big a piece" . I can't see any difference but I think I would always use "too big a piece".

New2grammarThanks, Optilang. Is too big a piece larger than a big piece?

They are different.

I took too big a piece of cake. I was unable to finish it. My piece was too big for me.

My wife took a big piece of cake. She was able to finish hers.

We cannot know if my wife's piece or mine was the larger.
