Richard Scarry's Animal Nursery Tales, November 18, 2007
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Animal Nursery Tales (Picture Book) (Hardcover)
There are many, many fairy tales books out there. I wanted something that would hold my 2 year-old daughter's attention while I read to her at night. I thought a good place to start would be some of the fairy tales I remembered as a kid, stories such as the "Three Little Pigs" and "Goldilox and the Three Bears."
Most of the fairy tale books I found were composed mainly of text with a few antiquated pictures every now and then. And this is fine for older children, but no so for a two year old. When I came across this book, I knew I had struck gold.
Those of you with children not familiar with Richard Scarry's books are missing out on some of the greatest learning/reading tools out there. Scarry's books are visually appealing -- multiple drawings of delightful animal characters on each page, moving the story along and giving your child plenty of details to view while listening.
As a child of the 70's, I was already familiar with Scarry's books. I must have read each of them dozens of times as a kid, pouring over and appreciating the details in every picture. Let's face it, the way to get kids into reading is to make it interesting; this is certainly a good way to start them off early.
If you're looking for a good way to get the kids interested in reading, or if you just want a quality book of fairy tales for the children in your life, look no further than this one. It's a book your children will cherish and, like myself, read to their own some day.

Son's favorite book, February 2, 2003
My son is 25 and when he was little, this was his favorite book! I just found a copy of it and it brought back such wonderful memories. The stories are true to the traditional fairy tales and the illustrations are adorable. I'd recommend this to any one.

Expectant Grandmother, July 10, 2009
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Animal Nursery Tales (Picture Book) (Hardcover)
Our eldest son, age 29, is expecting his first child and this was his absolute favorite book when he was young. Richard Scarry Books are very visual, leading to lots of interest from young toddlers. I've been a mom to 7 kids over the past 29 years. Five of our children are adopted from foreign countries and these books were also a great asset in helping them open up and learn their first American words. Love Richard Scarry!
