Into the Wardrobe

I taught third grade last year and one of our literature books was LWW (the curriculum had already been set before I got there, so you can imagine how disappointed I was to have to teach this book. ). You would be surprised at the things the children found different between the book and the pictures. I don't have a copy of the particular book with me so, I can't give more than one example, but in one of the pictures it showed one for leopard than the book had said and they were very quick to notice it.

Personally, I only use the pictures to make, or base, clothing/costumes off of.

When I saw that picture not long ago I thought, "How odd". It just didn't look right somehow. Espeically with Aslan's paws behind his back.

I wouldn't call any of these discrepancies, per se, but there were some pics that were noted in my childhood.

The picture of Trumpkin wringing his hand after his duel with Edmund... Trumpkin's face and shoes just looked a little silly to me. Dunno. They just did.

I never understood what a Satyr was as a child. And the picture in one of the books of the (I assume) Dryads sitting holding their harps, etc. never really gave me a strong image of how they truly appeared. As a matter of fact, those probably weren't Dryads at all, but I don't know what they were. I tried very hard to envision people that looked an aweful lot like trees and wading through earth. Hmm, maybe they could come plow my field for me just by walking around.
