Amazon.com Review:
Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters,it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. Forstarters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go(and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagineanyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters onevery page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (suchas finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way itentertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste andtoothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguisha ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazingabout this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for yourfledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at LowlyWorm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after thatirresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older)--Gail Hudson

Rating: - Great Classic Book from Great Seller!
Received my used copy of Cars & Trucks & Things that Go, by Richard Scarry. Ordered from Goodwill Of CT for a good price-and the book arrived in good time, well packed. It is in better condition than I expected. I would recommend this book-and this seller- to anyone. Thanks Amazon, Goodwill of CT, and especially Richard Scarry! Did not give 5 stars only because the book was not in "New" condition-but I did not expect it to be. All is good!
Rating: - I have as much fun with this as the kids do
This has always been a favorite among the young set. We had one of these when our kids were young. Besides the learning aspect even toddlers can have fun searching for the "Gold Bug" This jolly little fella is somewhere on every page. This is not only a hit with kids but also adults after finding our old copy we had three adults huddled around the book trying to find the "Gold Bug". I recently orderd two new books (the original is a bit tattered from years of use). My grown adult children have each ... Read More
Rating: - classic book
This is a classic gift for new parents and babies.It encourages reading aloud to even the youngest child, and has the added bonus of finding"gold bug" included on every page, so the book grows in interest as the child grows.I keep several new copies on hand for gifts.

Rating: - Quality issue
I recently ordered this book.The first copy I received had a quality issue.The print colors in many of the illustrations were incorrect.For instance, the pigs were green.For another, there were paint cans to help teach children colors and the paint can that was labeled blue was actually printed in red, etc... I returned the book and ordered a new one.The new book had the exact same print color error.I believe Amazon has a complete lot of incorrect books.I have notified them by phone and ... Read More
