Richard Scarry's Longest Book Ever!

Rating:
Summary: Funny, interactive book
Review: I'm glad there are authors like Richard Scarry, who appreciate the great sense of humor children have. This book is beautifully and cleverly built, folding out into a long train (my two year old was "driving" it around the house yesterday) and containing lots of flaps to peek behind. There are many silly details (crocodiles crying their crocodile tears) and an exciting premise: will Bananas Gorilla ever find his bananas?!? My son looks at dejected Bananas and feels real empathy for him. This book has provided many hours of fun for us.

Summary: GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
Review: My 2 1/2 year old LOVES this book. He not only reads it, but he plays with his "choo-choo book" for long periods of time. It does not have the greatest text, but it is definitely a great book for children because it is interactive and entertaining. I am buying it for my newphews for their birthdays!

Summary: Fun -- though not exactly a "book"
Review: This book doesn't have much text but folds out into a VERY long yet sturdy train, with the usual whimsical Richard Scarry illustrations, plus some open the flap surprises. It's fun, but ultimately it doesn't offer as much as, say, "What Do People Do All Day?" or "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go" or other classic Scarry books.

Summary: My son's favorite book!
Review: This is my 13 month old son's favorite book. He has worn out the flaps and left teeth marks on his favorite pages. I am ordering a spare copy for him and 2 more for my nephews. The rhyming text and story are as much fun as all of the moving parts!
