![]() ![]() ![]() Not being a transportation-obsessed little boy, my taste tended more towards Best Word Book Ever and Busy, Busy Town, but I liked them all. I had such utter faith in my gift all those months ago because I have such fond personal memories of Richard Scarry books in my own childhood. And here we were, six months later, poring eagerly over the pages together on the couch. Nevertheless, I was sure that in a few months it would become a Favored Book. And the story … well, there wasn’t really a story, per se. The pages are paper, which seemed awfully delicate to hands that were used to board books. The book is huge, both in its dimensions and its length, which made it a little too long for a bedtime read aloud. Six months ago, he was able to look at the book and give it a few appreciative words, but at that point it was a bit of a hard sell. ![]() This particular birthday party was bus-themed, and this particular birthday boy is already a book lover, so it seemed necessary to include Richard Scarry’s Cars and Trucks and Things That Goamong his birthday presents. I recently had the chance to see a now two and a half year old friend of mine enjoy a book that I had bought him for his second birthday. ![]()
