I got a lot of books at once at Target and my son has been focusing a few. They happen to be all Richard Scarry's. This book is amazing. It literally answers all the questions the kids had. The size is decent, big enough to call their attention and fit all the figures. Cover is super strong and colorful. The paper stock is matt and thick. Every story only has 2 pages max and tells a lot with a sense of humor. No TOC is great that the kids can flip over and over to look for the story they want to read and end up memorizing everything. I can't wait to show other books Richard Scarry wrote. Amazing!

My 2.5 year old loves this book. There’s sooo much content on every page. It seems that there has been some modernization over the years but barely. It’s missing a lot of things people do all day in the 21st century. You’re really buying this for the parent nostalgia factor. It’s wacky in a way that makes you think...this wouldn’t be published today.
