My toddler loves this book and pretty much all of the other books he has by this author. Parents might enjoy it more because it has history about various characters, so it's not too terrible to have to read it 5 times in a row. This one is also somewhat calmer in terms of detail, so it's interesting without being overstimulating.

Richard Scarry can be relied on for his great illustrations, but this story is too long for young readers. (To admit the truth, I find this story too long to sit through myself because it's not as engaging as it could be.)

We loved Richard Scarry's books when my son (now 29) was a little guy, so it was the first person we thought of when getting books for my grandnephew age 2. So much going on that you can find new things in the pictures every time you read them.

Richard Scarry books are all pretty great and this one is no exception. A+

I got this for my 4 yr old daughter as an early Christmas book. She loves busytown and she loved the story. Upon first reading it I thought she would be a bit confused as Father cat tells a story of his past and his father is the main character, along with other ancestors of several busytown characters. But with a little explaining,(its hard decipher Great Grandfather cat in his youth from Huckle) she got it right away and appreciated the story. It's a pretty general Christmas book but it does have the quality of family in there, and sharing stories from the past which is always a nice tradition.
