Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go

by Richard Scarry

This landmark book, which follows Ma Pig, Pa Pig, and family on an action-packed trip to the beach, is one of Richard Scarry's most popular titles.

This is an incredibly charming book that is packed with adorable and detailed drawings. Each drawing is labeled with the name of the object. By reading the book, your child will learn the names of all sorts of new types of machines.

Kids will be captivated by the pictures of all of these friendly looking animals driving, riding, and shopping. The book is interactive because it encourages children to find particular objects in the midst of the busy scenes. One page involves some paint cans flying out of the back of a truck, and each paint can is labeled with the appropriate color.

My nephew Michael enjoys looking at the pages over and over again. He has started to recognize words and loves to think about the world the characters live in. Each time he looks at the book, he sees something that he didn't notice before, and sometimes will run over and show it to one of his parents. This book really makes him aware of the beauty and excitement that can be found by paying close attention to details.
