Political correctness, Richard Scarry style

Published 10/12/07

Filed under: Miscellaneous

My, how things have changed since 1963. I direct you to this compilation of images from the children’s book Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever. One set is from the 1960 printing, the other from 1991.

Men have become women. ~~Indians~~ Native Americans have disappeared. A menorah has appeared. Gone are the "handsome pilot" and "pretty stewardess." And so on.

I LOVED the Richard Scarry books when I was a kid!! I read this book all the time! Funny though, I am not sure I would have noticed the changes unless pointed out to me. Wow, the memories this brings back. :-)

Some of us Natives appreciate not being in the picture. :-)
