What Do People Do All Day

I grew up with this book and it always remained as a special memory for me. I was ecstatic to order it for my daughter. Without any prompting from me, it has become her favourite book and she loves the reality of the stories as well as the colourful characters. If you want a great book for your young kids to enjoy for years. This is the one. Enjoy !

One of the best books of any kind

Like some other reviewers, I am disapointed the unabridged version is not available.

But, even abridged, this is one of the funniest and most absorbing books in print. This book is full of delightful cutaways showing the internals of houses, streets, and factories. Like most Richard Scarry books, this one explores and explains a world which is fun, colorful, comprehensible, and full of well meaning people.

Five stars is not enough.

Fabulous children's book

I had this book when I was very little and we read it as a bedtime story almost every night. The inner workings of factories and houses was fascinating to me, and I remember enjoying picking out my favorite characters on each page. Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat will always be my favorites.

What do people do all day

I was lucky enough to pick up the old version of this book at a junk shop along with a couple other old Richard Scarry books. This is now my 2 year olds favourite book, especially the section on road making and the wonderful Rock Cruncher (crusher). It is great as it presumes that kids might want to understand how things work, in a simple sort of way - many other books treat kids as though interesting stuff is left until when they are old enough to think! It is unfortunate that these books are not all being reprinted as I can see this one falling apart in a few years.

Unfortunately it is abridged

This really is an excellent book, but if your memories are of the complete 96 page edition, you may be dissapointed in this 64 page abridged version. Losing about 1/3 of the excellent stories is a bit sad. Huckle's plane trip for example is not present.

What is left is really excellent, but what was cut was great too.
