Cars and Trucks and Things That Go

Summary: I agree - thank you Richard Scarry!
Review: I started reading this book with my son when he first learned to talk a few years ago. He's not tired of it yet (and neither am I). There are so many fun illustrations (I especially like the "pickle car"), and so much going on that this book can be read again and again. Now that my son is familiar with all of the vehicles, and able to point them out when we go driving in our car (although we have yet to see a pickle car in our area) we have fun not just reading the story, but looking for the tiny "Goldbug" on every page.

Summary: Top Ten Kids' Book
Review: I loved Richard Scarry as a little boy and my 2 year-old son loves him, too. It's still fun to read this story and follow the family across the pages and past the myriad of crazy, zany vehicles. My favorite always was (and still is) the apple van. Definitely on my top ten all-time list for kids' books!

Summary: In a word...GOLDBUG
Review: I've always loved Huckle and Lowly (and the pigs and rabbits and Miss Honey, etc.), but Goldbug deserves a Shirley Bassey theme song about him. My 3 year-old daughter is entranced looking for him every time we check this book out of the library. She goes as far as calling the green bugs "Green Goldbug." I don't recall having this book when I was a child, but am so glad I found it as a parent, and will be buying it as soon as I think about it when near a bookstore.

Summary: Cars and Trucks and Things That GO
Review: This book was my favorite book when I was a little kid. That is part of the reason I gave it five stars. It is not only a fun book to read but it is also fun to look for this little yellow creature on each page. There is an Officer Flossy who rides on a bike and chases a terrible driver in a sports car throughout the entire book, while the Pig family goes on a picnic to the beach. The pictures of all the different types of vehicles are very interesting and fun to look at.

Review: This was my favorite book when I was a little kid. It is fun to read because on every page there is this little yellow creature that you can find on every page if you look for it. There is an Officer Flossy who rides a bike and chases a terrible driver in a sports car throughout the book while the Pig family goes on a picnic. The pictures are very interesting and neat to look at.

Summary: Sure to be a favorite
Review: Our three boys went through 3 copies of this book. I bought a copy for my granddaughter and have given at least a dozen as gifts. It's a wonderful book to read to several children at once. The double page spread with SO much action is perfect. The ilustrations are detailed enough to appeal to children of different ages. It's fun to find Goldbug and the race is on as you turn the page. The enriching vocabulary and examples of vehicles make this book a great learning tool.

Summary: Best ever
Review: 25 years ago my 9 month old daughter would crawl to the book shelf and pull this one out! After three kids (and two copies)I can't say enough good things about this book. I am now buying it for my every new Mom in my daughters crew. They are fascinated by the busy scenes and it is definitely a keeper! A good friend is an English teacher, I gave this to her toddler, she was amazed when it became his favorite book...I wasn't! Buy it!

Summary: a must have
Review: This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid, and is now a special book for my daughter and my mother to share. She loves to look for the Goldbug on each page, and even though she has his location pretty much memorized on each page, she still gets a thrill out of finding him. I buy this for other children now too.
