The New-England Primer and Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever

Posted on February 3, 2009 by sdgibson

The The Norton Anthology of American Literature,our English 2510 text, points out how The New-England Primer changed as a result of the American revolution and the influence of Puritanism (see page 354 and the footnotes on 355 especially). How similar (or different) are the changes to Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever recorded on this Flickr page? The editions compared are the 1963 and 1991.
