If you want to get a child something they will really use, love and want to see over and over again, give any Richard Scarry book. I have grown children and grandchildren, and Richard Scarry hasn't been forgotten by the grown ones or yet left behind by the little ones! Every page in this particular book is interesting and a fun romp through the days. The best thing about Richard Scarry, aside from the wonderful artwork and the clever stories, is the ability to interest both the adult reading the stories and the children listening! The usual "plot" is "a-day-in-the-life" of fire stations, post offices, schools, homes, shopping, traveling, etc. Work-a-day life with action and many words, places, people, vehicles, and usually some little puzzle or challenge included. i cannot recommend these books too highly - and do get the very large storybook as well as this book...the more the merrier!
