 Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Giant Little Golden Book) :: 0307157857

| Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat.

This was my husband's favorite book from his childhood; since his copy was very worn, I bought a new copy for him to share with our son.
My son loves the book--he reaches for it and picks it up, and when we're reading to him he grabs for all the pictures; he's very interested!
I've never been the world's biggest Richard Scarry fan, but this book is way better than I thought it would be, too--it's so funny. I love the frightened parking meter and other funny details, and finding Goldbug on each set of pages can be quite challenging.
Cars and Trucks and Things That Go is an entertaining book that can hold the whole family's attention!

My brother loved this book years ago and now both my son and daughter love it(ages 3 1/2 and 1 1/2). They search for Goldbug and the "Worm" and can locate them immediatley on each page. All of the Richard Scarry books are wonderful and entertaining. Buy them!!! :)

When my son was born in 1977, his favorite book for my wife and I to read to him was Ricahrd Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things that go. I have been trying to get it in book stores and I said well I'll try Amazon and lo and behold Amazon had it and a great low price. Now my son can read this wonderful book to his son who turned 1 in June. So Grandpa is proud to give it to his son so the fun to find "Goldbug" will continue for another generation. Thanks, Jeffrey Doty.

Kids of all ages will enjoy finding Goldbug on every page. I love it when my 3-year old nephew beats the adults in the room. It is a must for every childs library.
