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

Decades of love August 22, 2010
Avid Reader (Cambridge, MA)
I still love this book, I read it over and over for my son, now 34, and am reading it now with another vehicle crazed two year old. The only difference is now I am not so good at remembering where Goldbug is hiding! It's hours of fun, full of humor and fun things to see and stories to tell. I also appreciate having an Officer Flossy and a Mistress Mouse (who repairs cars and has a tow truck) STILL to this day!! This book is one to pull out when you just want to SIT and not run around after your toddler.
Cars and Trucks and Things That Go August 20, 2010
George T. Hunter
Our 20 month old grandson loves pointing to and naming the vehicles and the animal occupants on every page. We enjoy looking at the book with him and we enjoy reading the story to him. This activity reminds us of the wonderful time that we had reading this book to our own children. It is fun to follow the pig family on their travels and to see what they find when they arrive home.
The Gold Bug Book is a Blast! August 1, 2010
Deb (Denver, CO United States)
I'm getting this for the next generation of our family. My son memorized where the gold bug was on each page and astounded family members by finding them before they could. Now it's time for the next generation to learn the joys of finding Gold Bug!
This book never gets old.

Some of the first books I received as a child were by Richard Scarry. That much said, even 30-40 years later they still hold up in terms of keeping kids engaged in the action taking place over the course of some very detailed and colorful pages.
One thing I want to point out is that Scarry was one of the better anthro artists in his own right and he deserves a second look beyond the "child's book author" label. Each and every one of his characters, be it Lowly Worm, Huck the Kitten, Mr. Fixit, Officer Murphy and the anti-authority Dingo (along with his much-abused sports car -- it actually seemed to be a living creature in some respects with its reactions to Dingo's more blatant acts of stupidity over the years) have their own recognizable personality traits. There's even a twist ending of sorts in this book where Dingo does get his comeuppance after 25+ pages of vehicular mayhem.
It's a good book for the small fry -- nothing scary, someone who is misbehaving gets caught, nobody gets hurt and there's even a subtle potty joke (the little 'mouse in a hurry' at the rest stop).
Gold Bug June 29, 2010
Margaret Tackett (HOUSTON, TX, US)
My two boys loved this book. I read it to them many, many times. It was our game to find the gold bug on each page. Now I have bought a copy of this book for each of my grandchildren.Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks from A to Z (A Chunky Book(R))
