I love this book. My boys are coming up on five and they are fascinated by the incredible richness of what is going on in each page. There are games to be played during the reading of this, like "Where is Lowly Worm?" in each picture. I remember enjoying this back when I was a kid, and even now in this world of high tech graphic stimulation, there is still a place for Richard Scarry.
