naughty bunny book for kids
this book is good for little kids because it teaches them that they shouldn't be bad.it teaches thenm that when they are bad they get punished(well most kids do)
but anyway the bunny gets into a lot of trouble and gets punished.

Cute book for kids who get into trouble because of manners
This book can be for parents who want there kids to learn the responsibilitys of manners or it can be for kids who just want to have fun reading this book because they will get taught there manners but in a fun way. I think this book is great and how they used bunnys as an example of bad behavior is so cute.

Outstanding bedtime reading for your own "naughty bunnies"
The late Richard Scarry at his literary and artistic best. The "naughty bunny" has much to learn in terms of his relationship to both his parents and friends. Tastefully drawn are the consequences ofoverstimulating one's mother with 130 dB of television audio (a hairbrushappears to have been employed) as well as what happens to the purveyor oftattled-tales (kersplat). This book provides the impetus for any number ofside-tales you may or may not wish to share about your own life as a"naughty bunny." There is substantial ambiguity in terms ofcertainty / severity of punishment, so don't expect this book to ever makethe Politically Correct Top-100 childrens' book list. Richard Scarry's"Naughty Bunny" is a timeless classic waiting to be installed inyour home library. Ten years after discovering it at a discounted,out-of-print book sale my children can still quote many of the vignettes.See if you honestly would handle the "naughty angel"wall-painting event at the book's end as well as his mother did! ...

Richard Scarry's Favorite Christmas Carols
A Wonderful book for the young and old. I used it every christmas at family gatherings, office get togethers, and just for my own fun. I have had it since 1990 and replaced the batteries several times but how it just won't play anymore. I miss my Christmas Carols book with musical piano keyboard. Please, Please reprint this wonderful classic!!

Highly recommend this book for parents of small children.
My kids could not get enough of this book. Our copy sadly has been destroyed in a basement playroom flooding and we are desperately trying to replace it before the holidays. It has been a favorite of my kids and all their friends who visit us during the holidays and all year long for that matter for years. Please put this back into print. ... Read more

An unrealistic portrayal of an american busy town
A very uninspiring book. I had a hard time following the storyline and if it wasn't for the popups, I would not have understood the plot at all. Richard Scarry creates a world that is not only busy, but chaotic. I give this book an F.

Best pop-up book ever!
My 2-1/2 yr old son instantly fell in love with this book, followed shortly thereafter by me and the rest of the family. This is a great book to explore as you can go in and around the buildings, through the doorways, over the bridges and such. Plus, it can be read front-ways and/or back-ways, as there is printing on both sides of the page, giving a little reward for exploring the pages. The story is very cute also and the expressions of the characters are funny and endearing. The pop-ups are quite extravagant, relatively speaking, for a children's book, but not so much as to be overwhelming, and are also quite sturdy. There are also some cool little flaps which display action sequences. There is a train engine that really moves down the track! Richard Scarry rules!!! ... Read more

Good book, but dated
This book has some great illustrations and story lines that made sense in the 60s and 70s. It is not very politically correct though, with the two detectives accusing innocent people (animals!) of stealing and accosting them as they mind their own business. I love Richard Scarry and I have no problem with the un~PC plots but I can see how some people would. This is probably better though of as a classic for Richard Scarry Fans. One thing that I will say though, this is far more interesting for my 3 and a half year old than many other new books.

A Mystery for your littlest detectives!
This book includes two wonderful mysteries that any child would love.Not only is the text a great read aloud for an adult and child, but the pictures are filled with detail.It is easy for toddlers to follow Mr. Frumble as he explores the Supermarket.They can even "catch theculprit" before Mr. Frumble! My brother had this book as a youngsterand read it until he was 11 or 12.Now he wants a copy to share with hisown son! ... Read more

Okay book, but...
It was an okay book as far as his usual illustrations and stories
but if you don't want your kid learning that it's okay to live with someone you're dating before marriage, then you might not care for this book.

My daughter loves this book
We got this as a Christmas present, and my 3 1/2 year old daughter has requested it almost everyday since. She takes it to bed with her! I think the fact that it is 5 stories holds her interest more, although she would be happy to read them all in a row. It seems like it would be best for the 3-6 year set.

Fun book to read together!!
My daughter brought this book home from school and sat for an hour reading and enjoying the illistrations. She even asked to read the book with me. Whenever a book can keep the attention of a five year old and prompt a child to want to share that book with a parent makes it a great book to me. ... Read more
