Re: [LM_NET] McCloskey-Homer Price

[Chris Getty <cgetty@PLAINWELLSCHOOLS.ORG>]

There is an interesting website that lists "Picture Inconsistencies" in kid's 
books.   I thought I'd post to the list because you might find it useful for 
similar situations with other books.

Here is what it says about Homer Price:  
HOMER PRICE, in "The Case of the Sensational Scent," Robert McCloskey (there are 5 
robbers shown in bed; there are only 4 robbers in the story; an unsourced anecdote 
says that McCloskey was given the opportunity to re-draw the picture for subsequent 
printings, but preferred to leave it in to delight children who found it).
