5.0 out of 5 stars How Things Work In Busy Town CD-Rom, April 2, 2000
This review is from: How Things Work in Busy Town (Hardcover)
This CD was so fun. I liked it because it had farm equipment and road construction on it. I didn't like the recycleing place at first because I thought Lowley Worms car was going to get crushed. When I found out that that wouldn't happen I liked it. I also liked the Bakery. I like the rodeo and that they sing songs about each place. There is a sawmill and clock tower where a bunny comes up. There are lots of places to visit. This is a great CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but worth it, May 23, 2000

This review is from: How Things Work in Busy Town (Hardcover)
I first read Scarry's 'What to People Do All Day' (1967) in 3rd Grade more than 20 years ago. That classic book - long out of print - has been rewritten into this new version. I bought one for my nephew recently and has since become his personal favourite.

In a funny, entertaining style, this book describes the workings of a modern town in meticulous detail, complete with the wonderfully detailed illustrations which Scarry is famous for. The explainations of how things work are especially well done. Simple enough that kids can understand and detailed enough not to leave important facts out - a great combination. The only drawback is the price which is a tad steep but worth it for the hours of reading (and rereading) it provides.
