Woman's Eye

I read a book to 4 y.o. Matilda. It was about a girl who visited her uncle on a farm.
The uncle grabbed her in his arms..
- What are you going to do, unpack or go directly to see animals?
- I want to see animals uncle Frank..
I turned a page. There was a picture of the girl sitting on the back of a cow. I started to imitate noises of cows, sheep, ducks, but Matilda interrupted:
- Dziadzia (grandpa) ! She has different top, changed her shoes and headband!
- Yes, it is more convenient with animals.
- But Dziadzia! You said that she did not unpack her luggage?
My jaw dropped, my credibility as well.
Authors of children books, please! More attention to detail, specially when it comes to female dresses.
