BUSY, BUSY TOWN

My daughter loves all the Richard Scarry books, especially the big ones like this. It’s been great for expanding her vocabulary and starting conversations. The pictures are busy, bright and very nostalgic. These books give lots to talk about and can hold a kids interest for a long time!

this was a gift, the recipient liked it

Was so excited to find this author on Amazon! These were books my siblings and I enjoyed in our childhood as well as our own children! My mom had kept them. So excited to pass this new set along to friends. Great hardcover books, well made and fun illustrations!

The best books. They get read every single day in our house

I sent this to my 3-year-old grandson; I had already given him the Richard Scarry Word Book. He loves them both. BUT I just ordered from Amazon sellers two used (but almost perfect condition) copies of the First Picture Dictionary Ever, which is out of print, alas. The Dictionary was the favorite of my two daughters, and now I have a copy to give each family. All Richard Scarry books are gentle and engaging with so much detail that the child notices new things with each reading. Can't say enough good things! I think ages 1 year (with supervision) to as old as 8, but 3 to 6 really love these books. They will bring the book to you to read, and then they will teach themselves to read.

Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town My son who is now 45 and a father of 2 boys grew up with Richard Scarry. These books will never be obsolete. I have kept all his Richard Scarry books as he asked me to. This one and 3 others by Richard Scarry I purchased for my Nephews 3 children ages 2 and 3-1/2 year old twins. I have yet to meet a parent or child who does not enjoy reading any Richard Scarry book. They are not only informative but the cute animals that take the place of people doing people things in their town or elsewhere make learning a joy for Pre K and up. I highly recommend any Richard Scarry book. The child who receives it will thank you again and again. I being a grandma of 4 boys enjoy looking at them from time to time. They bring a smile along with some extremely pleasant memories of my son and I enjoying these books together, as he has done with both of his sons who are also growing up with Richard Scarry.

I grew up with Richard Scarry and passed my books down to my children. They are well loved and worn. Time to replace them for the next generation. My grandchildren love them as much as the rest of us!

I gave this book to my 2 year old granddaughter and she sits in my lap for the longest time as we read together and point out all the vehicles and animals doing jobs. She lives the book as much as my children did 30 years ago, and I love reading it to her.
