Review

This is a nice collection of six previously released Richard Scarry books. The text and illustrations are the same as in the original releases. Included here are "Bedtime Stories", "Please and Thank You Book", "A Day at the Fire Station", "A Day at the Police Station", " A Day at the Airport", and "Nicky Goes to the Doctor". The last section has some fun activities for kids and parents to do together. This would be good for one on one sharing. This would also be an ideal gift for Richard Scarry fans. Also, if any of your well worn paperback copies of theses titles are in need of replacing, this edition would be a good one to purchase. All the characters from Busytown that parents and children know and love are here, fron Nicky the Bunny to Huckle Cat and so on. Not a first purchase, but if you have the budget for replacements this is worth it.

Overall Book Score: good
