Interesting... if I had read this book to my kids, I think we would have had a very different perspective.
It was actually a very astute observation on Miss Curious' part and a perfectly cromulent question. Not sure who/what Mr. Clever is or why Mr. Clever was too arsed by the little girl's question to use the opportunity to explain homonyms, alternate spellings, etc. I sure hope he isn't the girl's (or anyone's) teacher!
It seems to me that Miss Curious comes off MUCH better in this tale than Mr. (not so) Clever...

The most worrying thing about all this is that Little Miss Stupid from Stirling has a vote in the General Election next week :O
Mrs Judge, who has studied feminist issues and lives in Glasgow, shared a picture of the book on social media with the caption ‘Mr Mansplain’.

Yes clearly Mr Clever has issues and they could be fleshed out...
So why winge about the story, it portrays Mr Clever as arrogant and self centred, it’s sexism, not all men are like that
Mansplaining or woman complaining as usual about everything that doesn’t suit them 🙄😁
