A really fab book!! - By: Mrs. Rachel Green, 09 Jan 2008 
My 2.75 year old son just loves this book. As well as the funny stories & excellent pictures, Richard Scarry has added the extra excitement of 'Goldbug' who is hiding on the pagesin various places. Given everything is so silly, the educational factor is brilliant. Keep them coming, we'll never stop using this book!!!
All kids love this book - By: Craig Worth, 01 Dec 2006 Quite simply this is the best kids book ever. I grew up loving it & now my son loves it. At our recent party we took a smashing picture of my wife satin an armchair, with 4 kids, all under 3, sat around her, with this book openin front of them. She is smiling at the camera, the four kids can't take their eyes off the book.
The story revolves around the family day out, but it is incidental to the real joy of this book, which is the pictures of all different cars & trucks. The illustrations are a real joy & there is so much going on on each page, that every time you read the book you find more.
What all the kids love though, is looking for Gold bug. He is hidden somewhere on every page, & is sometimes fiendishly difficult to find.
Classic Children's Book! - By: Mr. M. J. Moses, 13 Aug 2006 This book is one of the most riveting reads a child could ever have. I grew up on it, as does my son now! They will read & read this for a long time...educational without being a drag, fun & with fantastic & engaging drawings this book is a must have for boys & even girls.
Fantastic Book! - By: , 17 Nov 2005 We've had this book for 2 days now & my 3yr old son cannot put it down! With drawings of real 'things that go' & some not so real, such as 'cheese car', 'propeller car' & 'corn on the cob car'! This is my sons third Richard Scarry book & I will be getting him a couple more for Christmas.
The book is extremely detailed & each character & car is very different from the next. Every time you look at this book you will see something different. The only downside is that my son likes reading it at bedtime, but stares at the pages for ages as they are so detailed, so bedtime is now an hour longer! It truly is a great book, & certainly fires up the imagination!
A classic - but beware - By: Justin Steed, 20 Sep 2005 
I loved this book when I was a kid, so I bought it for my daughter, who's just learning to read & appreciate a good story. So I was amazed when I got to the end & discovered the last page of the story is missing, & has been replaced by an 'other books by this author' page.
I was incensed. they wouldn't miss out the last page of a thriller, would they? So why do they think they can miss out the end of a book like this? I'm trying to get my little girl to appreciate books - & it's a bit difficult when they're apparently not appreciated by the very people that publish them.
Very disappointing.
