My son (3 and 1/2) loves these stories, however...,

This review is from: Richard Scarry's Bedtime Stories (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
Great stories with great characters, but if you've already purchased "Funniest Stories Ever..." then don't bother with "Bedtime Stories" because "Bedtime..." merely contains a subset of the stories found in "Funniest", with no new material what-so-ever.This was needless to say rather disappointing to find out, following the online purchase.

The Original Richard Scarry you loved as a kid,
By Midwest Reader (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Bedtime Stories (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
This edition preserves the original Richard Scarry artwork and text from the 1970's that I grew up with (and loved) as a kid. Some of the new (1990 and on) editions of Scarry stories have art that is slightly "off" from Scarry's style, and text that does not convey Scarry's wit and fun storytelling style. Rest assured that this edition has both of those!

Richard Scarry's Bedtime Stories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Bedtime Stories (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
This is a delightful books for young readers -- it falls in the 4-8 age range, but is probably more appropriate for 3-5 age range. Some of our favorite characters, Lowly, Huckle and friends ease younger sleepers into sleep. It was particularly helpful in lulling to sleep a newly-minted older brother who was eager not to miss any of his new baby's "action." Richard Scarry is wonderful at that!
