Summary: Great fun for all ages!
Review: My kids are hooked on these books. Richard Scarry comes up with an amusing collection of cars and trucks that take on anthropomorphic proportions. He leads the reader along with various devices such as "spotting the bug." The book has been translated into many languages, including Lithuanian, making it one of the most widely read children's books in circulation. Best to buy the hardback as it will get plenty of use.

Summary: What a WONDERFUL "thinking" book!!!
Review: This book is so much more than a vocabulary builder! There are dozens of modes of transportation (from motor-scrapers to locomotives to doughnut cars), real and imagined, represented in the humorous illustrations. The settings take children through various seasons and parts of a community (a farm, a Main street, a campground, a beach, etc.). The questions from your child will be endless...How is a road made? What are the firefighters doing? Has Officer Flossy found Dingo Dog yet, so she can give him a ticket? And where, oh where is that Goldbug hiding? Inside the limousine? Behind the ambulance? Inside the broken-down car that is being towed by a small tow truck, which is being towed by a larger tow truck? This is so much more than just an entertaining story to be read, but an opportunity to ask and answer questions together, to find something new each time you read together, and to explore an imagined version of the world around us. My 3 1/2 year old son has loved this book for two years and hasn't stopped requesting it, even though we own many many quality books. Okay, maybe it helps that he is obsessed with cars, trucks, and things that go to begin with. Well done, Richard Scarry!

Summary: My son is crazy about this book.
Review: I loved it and now my 2 1/2 year old son loves it too. We have a great time looking for Goldbug. The only negative thing I can say is that he wants to read it every night!

Summary: Yes, this book is awesome!
Review: I came across this book again a couple months ago and am not ashamed to say even as a 22 year old it still does not fail to amuse me. This used to be one of my favorite books, and after finding it again, i see that it still is. Every page has a new scene full of strange vehicles and critters and you follow a family on their trip through these crazy scenes. I love the creativity of the vehicles and the critters and the names of everything. And I love the fact that you can stare at a page for hours and still find new things. Can you find goldbug?

Summary: Great book
Review: I bought this book about three years ago for my then one year old son. He loves this book. It takes me about an hour to read it cover to cover -- after which he asks me to read it again.There is a storry running through the book, and several games. It also works to read a page at random.

Review: Hey, I'm nearly thirty and I still love this book. The colors and so expressive and the pages are just packed with information; great cars, and trucks, and other things that go. The characters are a blast to look at. If I love it, imagine how much your kids will! Essential parental reading.

Summary: A book for all ages
Review: This was my husband's book as a child we pulled out of a box for my 19 month old daughter. It has become a ritual for her to read this book every night before she takes a bath, and sometimes several times during the day as well. When she wants this book, she will say Goldbug over and over again. It has helped her with many things from memory to learning names of trucks and cars. She loves airplanes and her favorite page is the airport with the mouse in the airplanes. My husband still loves to look at the book himself to look for Goldbug!
