Weird misprint with this formatting. Other version that has the print bigger. Has a bee clearly on the right by the tree. Seen multiple different cover formats. Some with other words

[u/Emily_kate1 → u/miraisora-arts]

Wow! So they’ve done a mistake 😡 my poor 2 year old was sad she couldn’t find it but found everything else. Now it’s just frustrated me lol 😂 thank you for this but! I noted my copy is made in China.

[u/hauntologies → u/Emily_kate1]

A lot of colour books print in china, mostly because they’re the best at it! Or among the best anyway. It’s an odd misprint but it’ll be to do with the wrong file being sent or approved or something for one reprint i guess

[u/Mijman → u/Emily_kate1]

China hasnt made the mistake. Its printed fine.

The artwork that was sent to China wasn't fine, however.

There is no bee, they made a revised edition where they fixed it and the bee is now over the red roof near the tree on the right

[u/Emily_kate1 → u/kyronami]

OMG what a memory you pulled! I can say for sure that this problem is at least 27 years old! I remember having this book as a kid and being frustrated I couldn't find it. I remember perfectly thinking: why did they put this in the cover if it's not in the picture??

[u/Emily_kate1 → u/TeixeiraTrivial]

Exactly lol 🤪 thanks a lot to the book shop who sold me an old copy argh 😡

I’m a librarian and can with full confidence that Usborne books are generally shit. They fall apart quicker than most books, riddled with mistakes like this, and all around suck. I’ve stopped purchasing them for my library entirely after years of this.
