Cars and Trucks and Things That Go Review

When I was a child, my favorite book was Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go. It is a book that combines many great things. The book shows great imagination with cars like Pickle Cars and a Bananamobile. It also adds a dimension of fun that you would see in something like an "I Spy" book as each scene in the story contains Goldbug, a character hiding on each page that sometimes you can only see his eyes.

My 18 month old daughter has loved the "I Spy" type books for some time, looking at pictures on one page and finding them on the next. One day last week I needed to occupy her for some extra time and so I pulled out this Richard Scarry book I had as a child. In a week it has become her favorite book. She now finds Goldbug and yells "baba!" everytime she sees gold bug.

This book can be used multiple ways, to use as an "I Spy" or "Where's Waldo" like book or to read. This is a book that my entire family has in their library for their children and my 6 year old niece loves as much as my 18 month old girl. Who knows, this may be their children's favorite some day!
