Busiest People Ever By Richard Scarry
I grew up with Richard Scarry. I love his illustrations and his humour. Some people do criticise the text and that Mother Cat does the dishes … I’ll admit it isn’t the best read aloud. I think these are great browsing books for kids and books that we read together a little and then talk about what is happening in the pictures.
Don’t you love having a race to see who can spot Lowly the worm first?
I think the fact they have been translated into 30 languages, made into movies and sold over 300 million copies speaks for itself.
The books can be found at the Auckland Libraries
and at the National Library
