Busytown has never been sillier. In this collection of short, funny stories, Richard Scarry’s animal characters stumble into mix-ups involving a banana thief, a troublesome car, exploding fudge, a talking loaf of bread, pirates, birthdays, and plenty of everyday chaos.
Each story is short enough for developing readers to enjoy in pieces, but the book also works as a read-aloud treasury. The humor comes from misunderstandings, accidents, oddball inventions, and characters who keep trying even when everything goes wrong.
Readers ages 6 to 8 who like classic illustrated fiction, slapstick jokes, and busy pictures will find lots to laugh over and lots to spot on every page.
