Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever (Giant Golden Book)

This really is the best word book ever, as the title says. It teaches so many everyday situations to young children. The pictures of the animals are beautifully illustrated . The young boys especially appreciate the fire house and trucks, bulldozers, and tractor pictures. It’s also always fun to find lowly worm throughout the pages.

I bought this book 40 years ago for my children and they loved it. The illustrations are museum quality and so much fun for children. Now, I bought all 3 large hardcover Richard Scary books for my 2 grandchildren. Sadly, they are with their parents in Japan as my son is in the Airforce. However, I watch the 3-year-old lay on the floor, carefully turning the pages with awe in his eyes. Great teaching books!

18 month old daughter loves this book! It has SO many vocabulary words to learn and interesting things to look at. Well worth getting to boost speech and language skills.

Can't remember how many times I've bought this book to give as a baby gift. My own children wore out one copy from the 1980s and I was just asked to replace the copy I gave to my grandchildren 10 years ago as it was loved to pieces. The book is a wonderful way for babies and toddlers to learn new words. The illustrations are colorful with lots of white space. Each page presents a topic that features in children's daily lives e.g. getting dressed, going to the supermarket, on the playground, the seasons, going to the doctor, counting, etc. My husband used to beg me to hide the book as he had to read it every night! So happy it's still available.

Love this book! Bought one for our children and our nephews. So many beautiful details on every page. Takes awhile to read each page because there is so much to look at. Really engages children and helps with reading, colors, etc. Also, the size of the book is nice and large, hardcover book, and good for ALL ages.

Great early learning book!

My now middle-aged children loved this book. I gave a copy to a Vietnamese acquaintance who used it to teach his daughter both oral English and oral Vietnamese. She couldn't read yet and didn't know the difference.

this was a gift, the recipient liked it
