In this edition of The Little Old Man Who Could Not Read, Purple House Press used the UK edition. Due to this, there are a few text changes such as "packet" and "tin" used in place of "box" and "can". You may even find other terms that jump out at you as being from the UK as you read the story. This aspect definitely adds some charm to this particular edition!
