I used to read these books to my son and he liked them but they are boring for adults. I prefer to read Beatrix Potter.

I LOVED Richard Scarry books growing up...they are super busy, and filled with eye candy! Everywhere you look there is something going on :) I have the entire collection to share with my daughter now, and they are really fun to look back on. Some of the images are really dated, ex: record players and tv's with rabbit ears, etc... (which makes it fun for me), but doesnt hurt the story at all! My daughter is 2 1/2 and sometimes i see her just sitting in a corner looking thru all the pages on her own. She loves books...and im happy to share some of my childhood with her thru Richard Scarry books :) What can i say...im a lover of well illustrated books, and this is one of them!

Who doesn't have fond memories of Richard Scarry's Busytown? It takes all kinds of workers to keep Busytown busy. Believe me! There are jobs for all sizes.

Read this to my nephew. Not bad, although the author seems a bit biased when he says that “the best writers write children’s books” and “the best artists paint pictures for children’s books.”

This is another one of those books that I remember checking out from my elementary school library over and over and over (you get the idea). I always liked the pictures and apparently talked about it so much that, when it was reprinted, my sister took pity on me and bought me a copy. (Thanks sis!!!) My fave? "Lowly worm eats peas. Peas are round in shape." (but it's gotta be in context with the picture. This book, though somewhat dated in some ways (no computers of course), would be a great one to use with elementary kids in looking at the concept of "community."

I remember Richard Scarry's books when I was a child, but had totally forgotten about them until I had my own children. My preschooler LOVES sprawling out and looking at Richard Scarry's books. Yes, the stories don't make much sense, and the illustrations are not the most well drawn, but they do have a style of their own that fascinates children. There are so many little details packed into the illustrations, it's a lot of fun for kids to just look at everything going in each page.

This is the book we read when our daughter Loralee was a toddler, when she became the Lowly worm. =)

Richard Scary books are great. They are fun to look at and give kids names for everyday stuff in the world.

Richard Scarryn Touhula-kirjat tuovat mieleen lämpimiä lapsuusmuistoja, nämä oli pienenä mun suursuosikkeja. Puuhakas päivä kertoo mitä kaikkea Touhulassa tapahtuu yhtenä päivänä, esittelyssä on erilaisia ammatteja ja puuhia. Kirja on aika pitkä luettavaksi kerralla eikä 3-vuotias millään malttaisi jättää lukemista vain pariin sivuun. Kuvituksessa on paljon hauskoja yksityiskohtia bongailtavaksi, joten kirjan parissa saa kulumaan halutessaan pitkänkin tovin.

Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town has lots of details for young readers to explore. The commentary on occupations is comically outdated but Scarry's characters and quaint little busy town illustrations are still charming. I read a few Scarry books this weekend and I thought this one was the best of the bunch.

Wouldn’t buy it or necessarily even recommend it, but definitely cool for a little kids to flip through and see all the different components that make up a town—each full spread is dedicated to one area of a town.

Not enough reading material to stay interesting for many days on an end, it's still a good Richard Scarry book.

I loved these books when I was a kid - borrowing them all time from the local library. Now my daughter loves them just as much and we read this one every day.
