Amazon.com Review
Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older) --Gail Hudson

Toddler Boys love it November 17, 2009
J. Saporito (NY USA)
This book was an old time favorite of my now 17 year old son. Several months ago, I took it out for my 2 year old nephew. He was hooked after the first viewing. He had several favorite pages and since he is at the age of loving all things transportation, he asked for it over and over again. I gave him my son's copy until I purchased a copy for him a few weeks ago. He calls it "his new book" and uses it every day. A friend and playmate got hooked on it while visiting, and I purchased a copy for him too. It turns out that it is now his favorite book too. The beauty of the book is that as they get older they can read the text and also search for "gold bug", but for now it is all about the silly cars and trucks and building vocabulary and memory.
I purchased R.Scarry books on the airport and firehouse as holiday gifts for my nephew, as well as a DVD from Busytown. I am sure he will enjoy those as well. I highly recommend the book for any youngster from around 2 years old on up to emerging readers. Great fun for them to look at or read alone, and a blast for them to share with friends, siblings, parents and other adults too. Richard Scarry continues to ROCK!!!
Great Family Reading! November 12, 2009

I had this book when I was a little girl, and through the years it has seen a lot of little readers...and because of it isn't in the best shape. I bought a new copy so that I didn't have to worry about my childhood memory slowly falling apart even faster. My daughter is 2 and loves it. We read it almost every night and look for Goldbug on each page. Its a great read while we are getting ready for bed, and the book is a ton of fun! I would recommend it to any parent!
WONDERFUL CLASSIC November 5, 2009

This was my husband's favorite book as a child. It is now our 2 year old son's favorite as well! We've read it together so many times, he has memorized most of the book and knows exactly where to find Goldbug on each page. Fantastic book!
 Good but not as good as the Yellow book November 2, 2009
Someone in Seattle (Seattle, WA)
We purchased this book after buying the yellow book with the lion on it which is the entire collection of stories from Richard Scarry. This one is good but my son still prefers the yellow one. It could be that there is a wide variety of stories. Personally I like the size of the yellow book because it's not too big/bulky and can be comfortably carried by child and adult alike. This is a good book overall but if I had a do-over I'd stick with the yellow book and leave it at that.
Wonderful Children's book September 19, 2009

My daughters loved to find 'Goldbug' hidden on the pages of lively illustrations. They literally wore the book to pieces.
Only criticism is simply that I think Golden Books should put a little more into the binding. I think it should have held up better than it did.
