Grandson's favorites

I have 2 different books by Richard Scarry that are about Busytown. My grandson and I spend a long time with each of these books. They are pop ups and have doors to open and holes to look through and doorways leading to other scenes and each pair of pages have so many different little things to talk about. I'd buy these again and consider others by this author. You also need to turn this book up side down because there is another set of scenes that connect to the front side just as demanding of attention. In both books there is theme that is carried out. The story is there but at age 2 it works better to just talk it through.

Best pop-up book ever!

My 2-1/2 yr old son instantly fell in love with this book, followed shortly thereafter by me and the rest of the family. This is a great book to explore as you can go in and around the buildings, through the doorways, over the bridges and such. Plus, it can be read front-ways and/or back-ways, as there is printing on both sides of the page, giving a little reward for exploring the pages. The story is very cute also and the expressions of the characters are funny and endearing. The pop-ups are quite extravagant, relatively speaking, for a children's book, but not so much as to be overwhelming, and are also quite sturdy. There are also some cool little flaps which display action sequences. There is a train engine that really moves down the track! Richard Scarry rules!!!
