Bummer! 'PropTypes' is incorrect

const Book = (props) => {
  return ( ... );
}

Book.PropTypes = {
 ...
};

That's not the correct answer. Remember that identifiers in JavaScript are case-sensitive, so "PropTypes" is not the same thing as "propTypes".

But we learned in the React course to use PropTypes instead of propTypes? I'm a bit confused because I indeed tried using propTypes in my latest projects but that gives me errors..

Both identifiers are used, but for different things. You can see an example about 3 minutes into the Validate Props with PropTypes video on code lines 14 and 15.
