Painting #8: All Animals Are Equal
BORDER PHRASE: “End to end to end all animals are equal in a tale of tail to tail.”
BARBED LETTER WORD: LOST
RED LETTER WORD: SMILE
WORD FROM THE MASTER RIDDLE: AMULET
HIDDEN HARE: Turnin’ like a wheel.
CLUES & COMMENTS: Through the magic of anagrams, the red letter word could be MILES (as in what Jack must travel), but it’s actually supposed to be SMILE (as in what the sun is doing). This page wound up having significance in Kit’s second, untitled book.

If you turn the picture upside down and look at the sun that way, it wears quite a different expression, certainly needing some encouragement to SMILE.
Indeed: it seems as though the sun is happiest during the day, but when the picture is rotated and night falls, his services are no longer required and so his expression droops somewhat.
Do you know the answer to the riddle, “A hopper of ditches…” It was one of the only ones I couldn’t solve.
Where is the rat in the picture?
I think it’s a cross of ram and cat
