Richard Scarry Books - I am a bunny
As this age range is better served with board books, this is a great one to add to your collection. A classic book that helps familiarise children with the four seasons.
Though not written by him, it features his illustrations. It is a book that children love from a very young age. They love the pictures and then they go on to love the book which they then go on to buy for their own children or friends’ children.
A great baby shower gift or gift for any children you know.

Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks from A to z
A teeny tiny book that is great fun for children of all ages. It is about the size of a child’s hand and it is just the right size for a child to take it with them everywhere. It features real trucks and make-believe trucks like the apple mobile – which is also the shape of the book.
Cars and Trucks from A to Z
Richard Scarry’s Cars and Trucks and Things that go.
Look for the gold-bug on every one of the 69 pages of this lovely book. So much detail on each page, it keeps children occupied for ages as they look through page upon page of real and imagined vehicles.
My children loved it the moment an old and worn copy was spotted at their great-grandmom’s house. The whole visit was spent sitting with Gran looking from page to page, seeking out the goldbug, looking for fun vehicles. It was great.

Omgoodness ! I got a lot of these for my oldest daughter who now has her own children. I'm sure giving her children some for Christmas will bring her back fond memories.
I support you on this. Richard Scarry are fantastic books for small children.
They really are cool. We have them too. The girls do love them and the TV programs as well. Thanks for reading!
I Am a Bunny has been a favorite for generations in my family! My granddaughter now loves the book.
I remember when my son was little, he would choose all the Richard Scary books every time we went to the library. We read them over and over, and he would sit by himself with them for long stretches.
