Richard Scarry's Best First Book Ever (Richard Scarry's Best Books Ever!)

This book was in really good condition and met my expections arriving well on time and as described.

Thank you, arrived quickly. ok condition considering it's been well read and it's age.

I really wanted this book as I remember a particular story in it from when I was a nipper, about a bear taking his son hunting and the mother bear making them seal-skin coats. I wanted to read it to my son as it obviously made an impression on me, I still remember it in my 30's. I have since found out that this particular story is only in earlier editions, the anti-hunting lobby must have got to them!

My 3.5 year old LOVES all of the Richard Scarry books (I loved them when I was a kid too!)

Children learn a lot from these book. Best quality. Hard bound cover. Beautiful illustrations.

Los libros de Richar Scarry son perfectos para niños pequeños. Les encantan los dibujos y les hacen muchísima gracia

Die Bücher von Richard Scarry's sind allesamt sehr anschaulich. Für den ersten Zugang zu englischen Sprache eignet sich das Best First Book Ever sehr. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Büchern ist es nicht ganz so "voll" und somit auch für kleinere Kinder geeignet.

I don't agree with the reviewer that says this book is too cluttered. The book is a little big and an unsupervised toddler will destroy it quickly, but it is a fabulous, I mean FABULOUS book particularly for the price. Sure there are lots of things on each page, but I think the depth is just wonderful. The pages that are "white" with lots of things are wonderful. For example one page is a market full of different fruits and vegetables, meats, canned items, shipping carts. Another page forces you to turn the book sideways and a huge cat with all the body parts labeled takes up both pages. Another page is a doctor's office. Another page has vehicles. Another page has the alphabet. Another page is full of water craft. Another page is a farm complete with vegetable fields and several different types of machinery. Another page has the months of the year with seasonal drawings. We don't pick this book up and read it front to rear, rather we open a few random pages and marvel at Richard Scarry's mind!I have bought over 100 children's books the last two years and this is at the top of my list. The book is packed with pages with illustrations that are up and beyond the average child's illustrated book. Richard Scarry was a wonderful artist with a keen understanding of children's minds.Every single page has between ten and thirty items in context that my child is familiar with or we have experienced. My child stares at the pages longer than any other book and seems to just love this book.I just checked the Amazon price and I can't believe how little it costs compared to the other books I've bought.
