As mentioned last time, this book was my brothers (age five and three) loved me to read to them (I was seven) before we went to bed, especially when Quick Draw stepped on Baba's toe. Logical point: I remembered the line as referring to his foot, not his toe--but I suppose that's preferable to "Ouch!" cried Baba Looey, "You're stepping on my HOOF!" Hawley Pratt's illustrations (and Al White's painting) are wonderful, but, unlike comics, notice that every page is full figure, without any close-ups. I'm guessing this was following the well-researched Golden Book "bible" every book had to adhere to. (I very nearly did coloring book illustration for Western, and they had a set a strict rules for that too, so this sounds like a likely explanation.)<br />Mike Tiefenbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102752875776872720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-41662643414494610852016-03-30T08:46:28.449-07:002016-03-30T08:46:28.449-07:00Thanks for running this, Don!

Logical point: I remembered it as him stepping on Baba's FOOT because a hoof has no toes. But there it is in black and white.
