Book Reviews of Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town

Book Review: Looking for Mr. Frumble
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a cherished book of my childhood. A few years ago I was out looking for this book for myself. I discovered that the newer versions didn't have the story about a day in the life of Mr. Frumble. This was the highlight of the whole book for me. The one I had as a child has been lost. I figure the original had to be published somewhere between 1970 and 1985. If anyone has a way of getting a hold of this version I would be so thankful. My e-mail address is wjengr@flash.net.

Book Review: Excellant for kids
Summary: 5 Stars

Unfortuantely, Richard Scarry's work sometimes gets criticized as being anti-feminist. As a result, his classic book Busy, Busy, World (my favorite book as a child) is out of print. But, come on ladies, let's move on. Scarry is an extremely talented illustrator that kids love. My daughter insists we read this book every night. So save the feminist rantings for more appropriate targets, and leave Scarry's work alone.

Book Review: 2 year old loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars

My 2 year old son loves this book. He wants to read it at least twice a day, and it always holds his attention until the end. He loves looking for all of the little details in the pictures- for instance, he goes through and shows me all of the pictures that have fire hydrants in them, or all of the characters who are eating apples, etc. Worth every penny and then some!

Book Review: Great Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a fabulous classic childrens book. Still the same captivating drawings as when I was a kid.
Shame on the "gender" battle people. There are some things men do better the women, and vice versa. That is why we are so different! Richard Scarry does a another great job of challenging and teaching children. I'm sure no book would ever satisfy the feminist view.

Book Review: Great, Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a perfect example of the kind of publication that has made Richard Scary a favorite of families for generations. The illustrations are action-packed, and kids are immediately drawn in to all the activity of the town, learning about all the characters on the way to work!

From toddlers to pre-schoolers, this is a book to be absolutely cherished!
