Differences in old and new versions of “The Best Word Book Ever”

Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever - Changes

Someone documented and annotated the differences between old and new versions of Scarry’s book. Very interesting. The illustrations have changed in addition to the words, and it does seem more politically correct now. Or, maybe just updated for today’s realities, take your pick. The annotations are a great use of Flickr–be sure to roll your mouse over the pictures to see the notes.

In more than one of them, “Father gets inserted into the kitchen.”
