Story time with Fio
How I loved Richard Scarry books when I was a kid. I learned my first words on these and most of the characters and images are just ingrained in my DNA. It’s so amazing and nostalgic to rediscover them now with Fio, will she learn her first words with these books too? Will she have the luck of reading them with her son/daughter too?

Ah, ingrained in the DNS for SO many of us! It’s so nice to have an “excuse” to read these again, especially Richard Scarry. We have a 3 yr old and 1 yr old and consider it duty to indoctrinate them with this stuff. Thanks for posting that one, i need to dig for it.

E,
I love Richard Scarry. I learned my first words reading his books and it is ingrained in my subconsciousness as well as Mary Blair’s designs from Disney’s Sleepy Beauty, Cinderella. But, this one hurts. I bought some of Richard Scarry’s book for my nephew and niece for Christmas. They just tossed the book aside along with Blair’s “I Can Fly” in favor of Dora Explorer book
Boy, did I feel old.

aaaah!!! thanks for finding this for me. I have such fond memories of this book from when i was very young, and I can’t remember (or never knew) the name of the artists/writers for these.
