Our 4 year old loves R. Scarry - Lowley the worm one of our favorites. We were extraordinarily disappointed with "A Day at the Police Station". An infant lost from the mom, a ghost in the bathroom (great help for potty training) I mean come on. Weak effort, not thought out - too bad. 3/4 of the book is great but that 1/4 just overwhelming.

Glad this was for a 2yr old. He crawled up in my lap to "read" the book and was only intrested in the pictures of what the dog was doing. It wasnt police work. So I have to say I dont like the book. If I had been in a book store I would not a purchased this book. This book has a very round about way of telling you a police station's duties. It cant hold a child's attention. Maybe a 10 yr old.

We love the illustrations and usually just make up a new story each time. It is fun to look at the details and discuss what is going on. The books enable a fun interactive experience for parent and child.

We love Richard Scarry and this book doesn't disappoint. A quirky little tale about a little girl's day with her dad who is a police officer. There is always so much detail in the illustrations that the book does not get boring.

This book is a very cute rendition of what a day in the life of a police officer is like.

I love Richard Scarry and have some wonderful memories of being read his books as a child. I wanted that experience for my children and the books brought me back a significant amount of nostalgia and feelings of comfort.

Each page is loaded with beautifully illustrated pictures that allow for extended conversation and what if questions to engage the child. We easily spent half an hour talking about all of the cute little images packed into each page.

Wonderful fun, wonderful memories!

Another fantastic Richard Scarry educational book, with his world of anthropomorphic animals in Busytown and Workville.
Mrs Murphy has to go to Workville and asks Sergeant Murphy look after Bridget.
Sarge takes Bridget with him to the police station and here Bridget watches Sarge respond to a scare by Hilda Hippo, helps him take a lost toddler back to the police station and call her mother, respond to an accusation by Mr Gronkle of a robbery and rescue Bananas Gorilla after his bananamobile plunges into the water.
Always fun for children as this one teaches kids about a typical work day at the police station, and why being a police officer is very important.
I learned to read with Richard Scarry and am glad to note that the Richard Scarry corporation is still coming up with books about his characters.

My husband is a deputy and loves to read this book to our still-in-womb little girl. It's a funny book with quirky little situations presented.

We checked this out from the library and were disappointed.

We own 4 of the Big Books by Richard Scary. My son is 3 yrs old and can look/read them for 20-40 minutes a piece. A few pages are worn out from constant looking, pointing, and drooling when he was teething.
For boys, I highly recommend "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go".

This title was read once and forgotten. Glad it was borrowed instead of purchased.
