Bring back Busy Busy World!!,
By SuzzyM "nyc_mom" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World (Hardcover)
Now that my own copy from childhood has come apart at the spine, and both covers need to be reattached, I wish this book were available for sale at a retail-like price.This was my favorite book as a child, and it has become one of my children's favorites. We read it almost every night these days. If my parents hadn't saved it, it would have been lost to them. These are great stories, with wonderful funny illustrations (you have not lived until you've read Good Luck in Rome, complete with pasta-flying, gelato-spilling traffic chaos sound effects, to small children) and the book actually encourages an interest in other countries and cultures. What can we who love this treasure of children's literature do to get a campaign going to get this back on the shelves?

The World would be better if all children read this book,
By John Elliott (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World (Hardcover)
Housepainting pigs, Couscous the detective, Matilda? the kangaroo nurse,the pig that kisses the blarney stone and the brazilian boa that wrapped herself around a jet plane. I still sketch the bloated plane in quiet moments at work.Modern chidren's books seem lesser immitations. To be fair I have not read the newer books, but the illustrations are never in the same class as Scarry's and no book has such a wealth of stories and characters. Save the world, bring it back!

I'm devastated.,
By M. Smith (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World (Hardcover)
Of all the Richard Scarry books we grew up with, why would this one be out of print? My son and I have been relying on my family's old, taped-up copy, but several pages are missing. (The story about Sergeant Yukon of Canada ends with Smudge the chimney sweep rescuing Frau Wascherwommen's little boy Hans...) Still, it's our very favorite book, and for my son, it's an obsession. My sister-in-law was very impressed when my not-quite-2-year-old said "Israel" and pointed to the right place on the world map! I want to get complete copies for my son and my nephew, but I can't afford the collector's prices. I hope an enlightened publisher brings this book back into print someday!
