Daniel,

We have two 2 1/2 year olds and read The Orange Splot. I am curious whether the book has any relationship to the house in Upstate New York that was painted much like Plumbean’s (because he was angry at the town – Hoosick Falls or nearby). it stayed that way for years.

Thanks. We enjoy the book.

None whatsoever. I live in nearly upstate New York, and am familiar with the mentality you describe. Mr. Plumbean was not like that.
