Cars and Trucks and Things That Go

"I could pretty much pick any Scarry book, they’re all delightful (especially now with their updated gender and ethnic stereotypes). What I love about his books is the generosity of it all. There’s something to see and enjoy corner to corner. The infectious playfulness is spread all over the page and then continues in our head. Look! Another Book! has some Seuss-y playfulness in it, mixed with some Scarry style busy spreads full of incidental details. This along with Cars and Trucks and Things that Go by Richard Scarry invites the reader to play within their printed worlds. You can read through the books but you can also just noodle across the spreads and make up your own narratives. I love it when the ‘thing’ is actually an invitation to the reader/player’s imagination to take the lead and go on their own adventures."
