Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review, Eden Ross Lipson
The narrative is dull--Scarry's was not an adventurous life--but the captions to the copious illustrations of Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm and the gang, and the discussion of technique and intent, are filled with analytic insight.... Richard Scarry's legacy is glorious.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better....., November 12, 1998
By Michael Wong "mikesh" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having grown up with Richard Scarry's books, I naturally wanted to find out more about him. The book gives a well detailed background to his beginnings and some interesting vignettes. However, I wished there were more information on how he had developed his characters, in particular Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm. Did you know that Huckle Cat started out as a bear? I had a hard time explaining this to my daughter. Wished the book had explained this. But, nonetheless, for those who grew up with him, it is well worth the buy.
