Personally, I enjoyed the animal characters and the mix of whimsical and realistic drawings. My kids always enjoyed these books because there were so many things to see on each page. I have fond memories of Richard Scarry books from when I was a kid, and I even managed to get my hands on a few special ones to share with my children. Believe it or not, it's the 40th anniversary of the release of this book. I am really going to show my age this week because I was extremely excited when I received a copy of RICHARD SCARRY'S CARS AND TRUCKS AND THINGS THAT GO. Will Officer Flossy catch Dingo? Will Rollo Rabbit catch his runaway steamroller? And with literally hundreds of things to look at, youngsters will spend hours trying to find Goldbug on every page. Each detailed spread provides tremendous opportunity to make up stories and describe situations. As the pig family head to the beach for a picnic, they encounter every vehicle known, from the forklift to the locomotive, and many vehicles that are not as common, from the pumpkin car to the broom-o-cycle. Every manner of machinery that moves is riotously depicted in this classic favorite. Summary: The station wagon, the tow truck, the garbage truck and the bulldozer.
