Simply outstanding

I grew up with Richard Scarry books, including the now out-of-print "Busy Busy World." For some reason I had forgotten what a gem this is. Any child will delight in it, and for parents it is so nice to have a book that can be different every time you read it, as most of our books are read over, and over, and over.

A Scarry Classic

I first read this book to my daughter 22 years ago. It was her favorite, and alas it wore out. Searching to find Goldbug on each and every page was the most fun, and the verse was very entertaining as we did so. It helped teach her words, spelling and all about the different ways to get from here to there. I just reordered a copy to surprise her for Christmas, as she prepares to start her own family. I highly recommend this book by one of the most beloved children's authors.

Fabulous

This book is, by far, the most loved book in our household. Both my 3 year old and my one and a half year old are captivated by its colorful illustrations of favorite objects. Each page has dozens of things to see and talk about, which makes this book a must for long plane flights and trips where we need to get maximum "entertainment value" for each item that we bring. We highly recommend this book.

Why I choose Cars and Trucks and Things That Go

When my wife and I were going to Ecuador to visit our son and his family we wanted to take gifts for each of our four grandchildren there. Since toys are hard to pack and since books really last longer, we wanted to take them each a book. As we thought of our four-year old grandson we remembered one of the Richard Scarry books that his father had liked which was Cars and Trucks and Things to Go. It is really a great book that gives hours of entertainment and a also provides a wonderful learning experience. Needless to say, Gold Bug was an added attraction and reason for us to buy the book. Nathan was very happy with his book.

Still a favorite 25 years later

I bought this book for my sons over 25 years ago, and now I'm buying it for my two grandsons. Even before he was 2, my oldest son absolutely loved this book. His brother was no different and it quickly became our every night bedtime book, not to mention it accompanied us on every vacation and out-of-town trip. Even when they were toddlers, we would make up all kinds of games to play using the pictures, such as who could find the little gold bug which seemed to pop up in various places throughout the book. I still have the original book I bought back then, and when my Grandsons come visit they immediately run to the bookshelf for this book and proceed to fight over who gets to hold it. Just recently my youngest son saw this book on the shelf and sat down to read it to his his 1 yr. old son. As they looked through the book, my son began sharing with his son all his favorite pages, dicussing why he like this or that page so much. It was heart warming to see the sparkle in his eyes as he shared a fond memory with his son, and I was surprised how much joy this book actually did bring to them then. My grandsons will each get their own copy for Christmas this year with pictures of their Dads as very little boys being read this book taped in the front, and a special wish from their Grandma and Granddaddy.
Excellent book. Even as a parent this book was a joy to read EVERY NIGHT!
