Richard
Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go
By
Richard Scarry
Review by: Angela
Vargas
Talk about visually
packed!! This book will keep your toddler and preschooler looking
for hours! Each page is loaded with Scarry characters in all
conceivable and inconceivable types of vehicles. There are planes
and trains, buses and bikes, in addition to corn cob cars, rhinoceros
cars, egg trucks, cheese cars and and pickle cars. Yes, all of
these are actual eggs, chunks of cheese, etc.! There is not
much text involved, but the little there is is thought provoking and for
the children. For example, they ask what Pa Pig might be shopping
for, as he steps out of the car in front of the toy store. Each
vehicle and most characters are also labeled. One of my favorites
is Goldbug. He is a little yellow bug, with great big eyes and a
smile, that hides somewhere on nearly every page. Children get such a
charge out of finding Goldbug. It is like having a "hidden
pictures" book within a book. Everyone in the book is
traveling to somewhere, via some kind of vehicle. There are even
construction and army vehicles, so there is something for every child in
the book.
I
recommend this book for ages 2-6, for both a visual and a mind tingling
cross country adventure!
