  • Scarry Books are a favorite of the children

    My 4 year old son loves Scarry books and this one has become his new favorite. He is in speech therapy and it helps him by encouraging storytelling. It also helps me as a parent to be able to use the detailed illustrations to practice a multitude of language and speech skills. I am not sure why children are drawn to this style but the children find Scarry's drawings compelling and funny.

  • Abridged version

    Richard Scarry books are great, with wonderfully detailed—yet humorous and whimsical—depictions of how the world works, especially machinery and vehicles. The only problem with this book is that it’s the abridged edition. I would look carefully at any listing to verify that you’re getting the unabridged version.
