Richard Scarry -  Perfect for a Kid with a Vivid Imagination!

No bookshelf is complete without a couple of Richard Scarry books.  Ours include copies from the late sixties and early seventies that have survived a couple of generations.  It’s wonderful to think that these timeless books are now a companion to Genevieve, bringing back memories from my own childhood days, when I used to sit on my bedroom floor paging through the adventures of Huckle and his friends. 

Richard Scarry’s What Do People Do All Day? is G’s favourite.  The captivating pics make it an ideal book for a toddler to page through without needing Mom to read!  I can’t imagine a child who doesn’t enjoy reading all about Lowley Worm – or at least relating to a worm that can drive an apple car.  G thinks nothing of a cat directing traffic or putting out a deadly fire.  Richard Scarry is no doubt one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors ever.  His make-believe world is quite normal in a mad sort of way -perfect for a kid with a vivid imagination! So make sure to add a copy or two to your collection – and keep it on the bottom of the bookshelf, where it is accessible to your children.
