Amazon.in:Customer reviews: Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town (Golden Look-look Book)

Loved Richard Scarry as a kid so some of his works were on my to-get list for my child’s library. This book will not disappoint! It’s all about what adults do all day at work and the busy life of the city. The first few pages are set walking through the town and you peak in windows like the bank. Each person seen has a sentence about what they do. Then after several pages of outside, you start going inside: the post office, the school, a woodworking mill. You get all these little vignette scenes of mail delivery from start to finish. About 10 different people per page and each have a sentence. Then there’s other stuff like the farm, the market, an apartment building, firefighters, police officers, doctor’s office. I loved the page on stay-at-home parents because it can show kids how much work your parent actually does when you go to school. Generally a very well-rounded book capturing many part of life. Also many pages! This would be a good book where you can let your child set the pace. They may enjoy a fast flip and to just look at the pictures, or point out some pictures and ask questions, or they may like to mostly flip but then read in detail on pages you know they are interested, like the school page for kids almost ready to start school. Very fun book. Highly recommend.

When I asked my 3 year old granddaughter if she wanted to read the Richard Scarry books, she said no. She thought they would be scary. But when she actually saw them, she loved them and has asked for them several times. She doesn't care if they're out of date and it's a chance to tell her about how things 'used to be' - for example: a caboose. The books arrived on time and as advertised.

einfach empfehlenswert. Hatte als Kind selber ein Buch von ihm, habe das meinen Kindern gezeigt und die waren begeistert! Darum besitzen wir inzwischen auch schon ein paar seiner Bücher, alle im Original, denn meine Kinder wachsen zweisprachig auf. Aber ich verschenke sie inzwischen auch gerne an andere Kinder deren Mamas ebenso begeistert sind, da sie dann mit den Kindern gleich mit lernen können (falls sie der Englischen Sprache noch nicht, oder nicht mehr, so mächtig sind) - wenn sie ein bisschen was von der Aussprache verstehen ;-). Die Kinder lieben die großen Bücher wo es so viel zu entdecken gibt und sie haben meiner Meinung nach vor allem auch richtig lange was davon (KiTa- und Grundschulalter auf jeden Fall).

My toddler has had this book for over 3 mos and reads it almost every day. When I got it I put it in the bathroom as we were potty training and it was a new book. But I had to take it out because she would never get off the potty, she just kept wanting to read this book! We've since bought other Scarry books and she loves them also.

Entertaining,fun and educational. With these books, you start out from a very young age and they still love them when they are older. My kids had them and now they are buying them for their kids as they remember how much they enjoyed these books.

Disappointing

I didn’t realize how outdated these books are - dumbed down explanations. Disappointed based on reviews expected more from the series.
