Average Rating:
Rating: 
- Richard Scarry
This book - though excellent and instructional - is still not the "Busy Busy World" that entertained and educated myself and 3 children back in the '70s.Some memories just don't go away!
Rating: - Hours of fun
My 4-year-old son spends hours pouring over the pictures and stories in this book.Richard Scarry knows how to delight children in his funny drawings and silly stories.
Rating: - Great Gift to help my granddaughter as she learns her alphabet
Richard Scary has been a family friend (through his books) to my children and now to my grandchildren. This book is helping my littlest granddaughter reinforce her reading skills, she is 7.
Rating: - Good book for kids 2-6
Fairly typical of Richard Scarry's books, it is fun to browse for kids of ages 2-6. The book itself is very sturdy, and will definitely last long, even though it gets used pretty often.
Rating: - Love Richard Scarry books
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 ... Read More
