Busy, Busy Town by Richard Scarry

E's Pick of the Week is a classic. I've featured Richard Scarry book on here before, but I can't help it! His books are adorable and E loves them. He's also obsessed with the TV show (thank you Netflix!) which he gets to watch as a treat a few times a week.

This book is great. It is LONG, but because it is about divided up into individual sections of the town, you only need to read a page or two at a time. It's all about the pictures, not the plot (there is none, it is just explaining Busy Town and the things in it). E loves it and it makes for a GREAT "potty time" book because of its length and ability to be put down at a moment's notice. And of course, like always, Richard Scarry's artwork is incredible adorable.

Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town is published by Golden Books and is available in hardcover.

Richard Scarry’s CARS and TRUCKS from A to Z

E’s Pick of the Week is “Richard Scarry’s CARS and TRUCKS from A to Z”. It’s a little book, but what it lacks in size, it makes up in car fortitude (whatever that means). We picked up this little board book just last Friday on our weekly walk to a local bookstore. E has been crazy lately for the alphabet. He is obsessed with identifying letters and trying to write them! So, I perused the Alphabet section of the toddler books to see what I can find. This book was perfect. It’s easily portable (perfect for stroller reading!), features cars and trucks (another one of E’s obsessions), and has both the capital & small letters on every page. E is in love. I may actually have to make a trip to the store again today and get a few more copies because I have a feeling this one is going to be loved so much that it will fall apart. (The true test of being a good toddler board book.. if it is truly loved, you will need to purchase more than one copy.) The illustrations are adorable (love Richard Scarry) and the different kind of cars he has invented are a lot of fun.

If your little one loves cars or the alphabet, this is a great little educational book to add to your collection.

“Richard Scarry’s CARS and TRUCKS From A to Z” is available in “Chunky Shape” board book form from Random House. You can find it at your local bookstore or online.
