Fascinating: Scarry's "Best Word Book Ever" 1963 vs 1991


Recommended Posts

We love our 1963 Word Book. We also love our German version, Mein allerschonstes Worterbuch. For dd15, raised on Richard Scarry, it was a great boost to her German vocabulary.

 

The Germans seem to have no truck with beautiful screaming ladies or handsome pilots, but you can bet that der kleine Bar comes promptly to breakfast! "Er kommt sofort, wenn ur zum Fruhstuck gerufen wird." Interestingly, there is no soldier in the "Wenn du gross bist" section, nor is it replaced by a judge: there's just a blank space where the soldier had been.
