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.

I remember Richard Scarry from my childhood. They still hold up. My toddler loves the intricate pictures.

I would like to thank this book for teaching my toddler son the word "hobo". Now he won't go to sleep until we flip to the railroad page and see the hobo.

I loved this book as a child and my 15 month old delights in this book when her "dada" reads it to her during her goodnight routine.

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 The commentary on occupations is comically outdated but Scarry's characters and quaint little busy town illustrations are still charming.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.

This book is chock full of in-depth pictures from the great Richard Scarry. Everytime my son and I read it, I notice something new! Plus, a peanut car, a pickle care and an apple car are all hilarious to a two-year old!
