Actually, ‘POLICE’ is written in mirror image on the front of police cars, so when you are driving and you see the police car in your mirrors, it says ‘POLICE’. The smeared-up number plate does not impress, though.
Axolotl, thanks for catching my error. Here in California, they do their best to hide the fact that its a police car coming up on you, even disguising the light bar. They certainly don’t put anything in writing on the hood.
If this cover shows a fire being pulled over for racing through a school zone, I applaud the author’s efforts to reinforce the reality that our children, as exemplified by young Mr. Findo, are our future.
If that isn’t what it shows, I humbly offer the suggestion of changing the title to the “Novel of Findo Gask,” which could be represented by a jingly three-letter acronym.

This is obviously the sequel to “Lose-o Gask,” so it’s a very positive story about how they found little Gask, before he died, trapped in a police car that was about to be engulfed in flames. Huw Know?
Thankfully, in Mirror World, wearing your jacket and mittens will make you fireproof, so Little Charlie is safe.
So how do you pronounce Huw? Does it sound like Hugh or Huh or Who?

At least he’s wearing mittens. Or mitten.
You pronounce it ‘Hugh,’ but in a Welsh accent 😉
The words that I can recognize appear to be spelled correctly.
Aww – you took mine!

I found one positive thing: It’s very unlikely that Ford will sue (logo on police car).
How about: at least you can read the red font.
