An Observation

Curious George Learns the Alphabet by H.A. Rey is a book first published back in 1963. What I found interesting was the fact that the Man in the Yellow Hat used the words "dinosaur" and "dromedary" to teach George the monkey the letter "D".

Compare that to what alphabet books or shows like Seasame Street would use for the letter "D" today (most likely dog or doll). It just seems like we are expecting less of our kids today .

Just out of curiosity - how many of you knew that a dromedary was a one humped camel?
