5.0 out of 5 stars Richard Scarry's Funniest Storybook Ever, September 23, 2000

By

This review is from: Richard Scarry's Funniest Storybook Ever! (Hardcover)

This is the very first Richard Scary's book that I bought for my 2 1/2 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. It is a daily "must read" book for her. She enjoys the antics of each character and delights in the illustrations. Now she picks the order of stories to be read. If she could have her way, she would make me read them all to her at one sitting!

This book teaches the good and the bad, the "should do" from the "should not" in a amusing way. Many of the stories are centered around a family life and this is highly commended.

Even I do not tire reading from this book everyday. It is a challenge to find new details in the illustrations to stretch her mind. I would definitely recommend this book and if my daughter has her way, she would too.

Both my daughter and I would certainly scout for more of Richard Scarry's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still have it, January 31, 2001

This review is from: Richard Scarry's Funniest Storybook Ever! (Hardcover)

I received this book when I was about 5 years old and even after almost 14 years, I still have it. Granted, my copy of the book is now in very bad shape, but I still filp through the pages from time to time. It's story is still funny and appealing to me even through all these years, and helps me cool down when I'm stressed up with my assignments. Furthermore, It's the only book from my childhood days that is still with me. I would certainly recommend this book to parents who are looking for a good book of bedtime stories for their siblings.

2.0 out of 5 stars abridged, August 31, 2009

This review is from: Richard Scarry's Funniest Storybook Ever! (Hardcover)

My 10 year old grandson gave his copy to my 2 year old grand-daughter.

It was in very bad shape with the cover split off from the book.

I went on line to buy a newer version of the much loved book.

What I received was an abridged version. I had no idea this was

going to be a much shorter book. I was very disappointed. Buyer beware!!
