Classic
I owned this as a child, and so did my husband. Both my son (9) and daughter (7) read (and were read to)this book. We just had to throw out our old copy because it was so well loved. I have to buy a new one. My daughter loves all of the chipmunk stories. I'm hoping none of the stories have changed. My favorite if "the polite elephant". Whenever my children go to friends houses I tell them to remember to be a polite elephant- and if you know the story, you know what a wonderful positive thing that is for children to know and emulate.

I grew up with this, now my son will to! ( carljstoneham )
I used to spend HOURS just looking through the book at all the illustrations. The stories didn't always grab me, but the pictures did. There was SO much going on. I remember especialy the picture of the castle with the moat and all the mice. Man hours and hours of fun! Now, at 35, I have my first son. I bought this book 5 years ago "just in case." Looks like I get to watch him have fun with it too!

Charm Still Holds 20 Years Later
I have loved this book since before I was old enough to walk. I bought this book to have a walk down memory lane and to remember my own road to literacy. This book was instrumental in my learning to read.
I recommend any Richard Scarry books to anyone with youngsters. They contain wonderful stories and are very educational.

A classic
This was one of my favourite books as a child - I can remember spending hours pouring over it, and I am convinced that it taught me how to read. (I was reading at three and a half years old.) The short stories are perfect for children with short attention spans, and the labelled diagrams give children to see the words that they are familiar with in print. I have purchased several of these for my friends' children over the years and am glad to see that this book is still a favourite.

A childhood favorite revisited ( martinac@comcast.net )
This is a wonderful treasury of stories and pictures designed to keep young children amused and entertained. Gentle lessons in how to be polite and be a good member of a household are delivered with humor, questions to the reader, and brightly colored illustrations.
I used to read this book to my sister when she was very young for hours on end. My 2 1/2 year old son discovered it in our bedroom a few months ago, and now it has become, in his words, our special book, and we read from it night and day! It delights me that he enjoys it so much, and I enjoy reading it with him, and rediscovering my favorites.
This is a book I will likely be sending for Christmas gifts this year!
