Wow, I love Richard Scarry… My brother and I used to be able to spend hours having competitions to see who could be first to find the goldbug :)

Wow. That’s really weird. I get that they want to stear clear of stereotyping people. Man goes to work. Woman cooks and cleans. But, that is an original work and if he didn’t give the okay (which I’m guessing he didn’t or couldn’t have), then that’s kinda wrong. Especially the changing of the artwork.

I never really read his books, but my sister loved them. I’ll have to see what she thinks.

I used my buttonmaker to make some buttons out of a Richard Scary book, and was selling them at a craft fair a few years ago, when this girl walked up to me and said that she wasn’t allowed to read Richard Scary books when she was a kid because her mom thought they were sexist. I had no idea what she was talking about, and sold her a button that featured Officer Flossy (a female police officer). I supposed I had the updated and revised editions as a youth.

I read a Richard Scarry book of stories from the 70′s not too long ago that had a tale of Boybear and Daddybear. Lots of illos that would never fly today. Daddybear giving Boybear his first gun to go hunting. Daddybear falling over backwards with a big ax in his hand. Daddybear and Boybear bringing back their ‘kill’ slung over their backs… The illustrations are wonderful though.

Yeah, there’s some wiseacres out there dishing out some classic comments. For that alone, it’s worth the look-see. Otherwise, I found these comparison photos very interesting. Richard Scarry books were a staple of my early childhood reading … and drawing.

So is Richard Scarry dead? It’s funny, I was just reading an old comics journal and it was noted that editors are always changing writers’ copy, but it is rare for them to change illustrations. There is definitely a greater taboo against that. I always insist in my contract that illustrations are only to be changed with my permission.

Same happened to Tibor Gergely’s illustrations in the Yellow Taxi. I still have a copy where the porters are black.

Ah, with this update they’re trying to keep up with modern developments… I’m afraid these ajustments are still lightyears removed from the reality were’re living in today . A real update would demand totaly redrawing the whole book making it virtualy unrecognizable.

I posted about Scarry updates (with a pic) here: http://www.frenchtoastgirl.com/weblog/2005/09/its-people.shtml

Mainly, Mother Pig was feeding her family BACON. Not sure how that one got through!

I loved Richard Scarry as a kid. He put so much into the pages. The Where’s Waldo series might be the only books that could have captivated my attention longer.

I’ve read that Scarry used animals in his books at least in part because he knew any kid could relate to them, while they might have problems relating to a human character that looked different than them.

Pfft! One step closer to Air strip one if you ask me, what’s the point of having history if it’s “politically” incorrect?

Hi there, I’m looking for a Richard Scarry illustration. Can any one help me? He’s a little mouse in a red row boat, not a main character but he’s in one of the old books from my childhood. I want to get a tattoo of this little guy, but I’ve lost him. =(
Please see addtofavourites.blogspot.com for more details on what he looks like and which books I think he might be in.
