Rating: Summary: I have bought numerous copies of this book Review: This was my (now teenager) son's favorite book. I must have read it to him a thousand times. I have bought numerous copies since then and given them are gifts. I'll bet if you ask my son today to name some of the characters in this book - he could still remember them.
Rating: Summary: Great for girls, too! Review: Our 18 month old is obsessed with this book. She calls it "bus book" and wakes up saying that phrase every morning. She has memorized where goldbug is on every page so that she can now point to him as soon as we turn the page. And she still gets so excited! I can see us using this book for many years. Now, we have three main ways of reading it. 1) find goldbug 2) point to a picture and ask her what it is - "mouse" or "bus" are examples of ones she can say 3) ask her where an item is and have her point to it - "where's the fire truck?". #1 and #3 work the best for an eighteen month old. she gets better at #2 every time we read it. not sure when she'll learn to say "excavator" :-)This book is a must for *all* toddlers!
Rating: Summary: Four Year Old Rates It "5 Stars" Review: Not exactly my own review, but the 4-year old, truck loving boy, I gave this book to gave it '5 stars'! According to his mother, he spent all evening looking at the book the day he got it. It is a very large and colorful book.
Rating: Summary: My Grandson's favorite book Review: My three year old Grandson makes for this book nearly every time he comes in the house and requests that my wife or I read it to him. Who can argue with such a critic? I ordered it from a Z-Shop and may have to look for another soon, as our copy is getting some very heavy wear. I haven't had a book get such heavy usage in my house since Catch 22 came out!
Rating: Summary: Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go Review: My 2 1/2 year old loves, I mean loves, this book. Great book for potty training too! It has so much detail it keeps him in the bathroom until he is finished. It was his dad's book when he was a wee one and my son's gran passed it to my son so it has extra special meaning also. I given as a gift and will do so again.
Rating: Summary: Cars and Trucks and Things That Go Review: My children loved this book back in the 70's and now they are requesting it for their children. I'm a preschool teacher and this book keeps children attention for a long time. The children hurry to get to that book first during silent reading time.
Rating: Summary: My sons favorite book Review: My mother purchased this for my son at a garage sale for 50 cents. My 2 year old loves this book. He gives it to me and sits next to me in my chair every night. He and I go through it every night and he cries when we have to stop. He has memorized where goldbug is on every page. He has torn out about 1/4 of the pages and half the pages are drawn on, but he still loves it.
Rating: Summary: so happy to be reading this again Review: My oldest son loved this book in 1989, we looked at it and read it every nite for the longest time. We would point out different cars and trucks and look for mr frumble on every page. I attribute his early speech and large vocabulary at a very young age to the nightly reading of this book. Now I have a baby again and I am so excited to be buying and sharing this book with my new son. I know his brother will smile with fond memories of his own early reading.
Rating: Summary: Richard Scarry Review: Hunted for this book. Used for my children when they were little and wanted it for grandchildren. Love Goldbug. Kids always have so much fun trying to find him.
Rating: Summary: My 2.5 year old son's FAVORITE book Review: We were given this book when my son was born; he has always enjoyed the colorful and imaginative pictures, and has been finding Goldbug on each page since he was about 18 months. However, his early love for this book pales in comparison to his obsession with it now -- it's the only book he wants to hear at story time, day after day ... Luckily for Mom and Dad, it's also whimsical enough that we enjoy it, too, day after day.
