33 exciting adventures that take young readers all over the world and teach the geography。There are several stories involving policemen teaching some vey sound lessons on safety and obedience。As always， Richard Scarry fills the book with humor and his beautiful artwork。

Racist？？？？？ At the very least full of stereotypes and extremely euro-centric。

Klassikkokirjan täydennetty painos oli pakko ottaa lukuun， että näki， mitä juttuja meiltä suomalaisilta on kaikki nämä vuodet pimitetty。 Olisi mukava tietää， mitkä olivat ne syyt， joiden takia osa tarinoista aikanaan päätettiin jättää suomennoksesta pois。 Mitään sykähdyttäviä aarteita eivät nämä täydennykset ole， mutta eivät nyt mitenkään sen nolompia kuin muutkaan。 Ehkä kirjaa pidettiin vain turhan pitkänä ja haluttiin vähän virtaviivaistaa？ Tuskin kai mitään poliittisia syitä？ Pois jätettyjen Klassikkokirjan täydennetty painos oli pakko ottaa lukuun， että näki， mitä juttuja meiltä suomalaisilta on kaikki nämä vuodet pimitetty。 Olisi mukava tietää， mitkä olivat ne syyt， joiden takia osa tarinoista aikanaan päätettiin jättää suomennoksesta pois。 Mitään sykähdyttäviä aarteita eivät nämä täydennykset ole， mutta eivät nyt mitenkään sen nolompia kuin muutkaan。 Ehkä kirjaa pidettiin vain turhan pitkänä ja haluttiin vähän virtaviivaistaa？ Tuskin kai mitään poliittisia syitä？ Pois jätettyjen maiden joukossa oli mm。 Venäjä ja Israel， mutta vaikea nähdä， että niissä tarinoissa olisi ollut mitään syytä sensurointiin。Eli hieno teos edelleenkin， vaikka faktojen kanssa onkin vähän niin ja näin。 。。。more

Tässä kirjassa on Richard Scarryn lyhyitä tarinoita ympäri maailmaa。 Osa oli meille ennestään tuttuja， mutta suurinosa tarinoista oli aivan uusia tuttavuuksia！ Kokonaisuus toimi hyvin。

Hauskoja lyhyitä （1-3 aukeamaa） tarinoita ero puolilta maailmaa。 Helppo lukea muutama iltasaduksi ja samalla pääsee matkailemaan ympäri maapalloa。

Perhaps I would be able to appreciate and enjoy Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World somewhat more if I had first encountered it as a young child （which no， I did not）。 For yes， I can certainly and to a point both see and understand how the combination of Richard Scarry's narrative and images is imbued with much movement and often laugh-out-loud humour that might well tickle the fancy of young readers and listeners （and in particular if they are also able to just consider the presented stories and Perhaps I would be able to appreciate and enjoy Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World somewhat more if I had first encountered it as a young child （which no， I did not）。 For yes， I can certainly and to a point both see and understand how the combination of Richard Scarry's narrative and images is imbued with much movement and often laugh-out-loud humour that might well tickle the fancy of young readers and listeners （and in particular if they are also able to just consider the presented stories and illustrations in Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World uncritically）。 However， as an older reader and indeed as a reader who in fact has since my family's immigration to Canada from Germany when I was ten and having had to experience very much often nasty and despicable bullying due to my ethnic and genetic background as a German absolutely and utterly despised stereotyping and in particular if it is joyfully and unapologetically overused， I simply cannot and will not stomach and must rather univocally condemn the rather massive amounts of ethnic， cultural and gender stereotyping that I have encountered during this here and yes my first and most definitely also my last perusal of Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World。 As sorry and I do apologise to those of you who seem to have fond childhood memories of Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World， but in my humble opinion， almost EVERY single story featured seems to present and feature some type of stereotyping and/or generalising （such as that for example the Swiss climb mountains and blow their alphorns， that Germans are obviously all absolutely obsessive about cleanliness， that Italians drive like maniacs， that the Scots are gaga with regard to their bagpipes and so on and so on）。 Combined with the fact that a few of Richard Scarry's illustrations even seem and feel （at least to and for me） as potentially visually offensive （such as that Scarry draws his Algerians as canines and dresses them in Islamic garb， even though dogs are indeed and definitely often considered as unclean animals by many Muslims） and that the names Richard Scarry gives to his diverse characters， while certainly to an extent humorous， are also way way too much of the time teeming with sometimes quite underhanded and nasty political and cultural jabs and punches （naming a Russian ursine doctor after Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev and calling the Algerian canine detective in Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World Couscous after the famous but still rather common grain dish）， I can and will personally only consider two stars maximum for Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World （and frankly， even that two star ranking is in fact being somewhat kind on my part， since if I would consider how I have emotionally reacted to Richard Scarry's Busy， Busy World， I should probably even be considering only one star）。 。。。more

I like it because it is funny。 I like it partly because all the animals are from different parts of the world。

This book was written in 1965。 Hence， there are stereotypes to today's eyes。 But if we look past these， it's a terrific introduction to traveling the world。 Richard Scarry captures the reader's attention with exciting and informative llustrations， coupled with easy-to-follow written text。 There are thirty-three travel stories in this book。 96 pages。 This book was written in 1965。 Hence， there are stereotypes to today's eyes。 But if we look past these， it's a terrific introduction to traveling the world。 Richard Scarry captures the reader's attention with exciting and informative llustrations， coupled with easy-to-follow written text。 There are thirty-three travel stories in this book。 96 pages。 。。。more

The toddler runs around the house with anything remotely resembling a baton， and says “Pierre， Paris policeman！” He loves these stories and I love that he’s familiar with the names of far-off places。

I think I had more fun reading this book than my little kid had。 All the humour， puns， funny things that my child not yet understand make bedtime story less like a chore。

Richard Scarry's books are always a delight and this one won't disappoint。 Each page spread （with a few exceptions） is its own comical little story showcasing a different nationality and/or city。 It's a big book but it'd be easy to read a couple stories or two and pick it up again later。 A treat！Ages: 3 - 8#geography #global**Like my reviews？ I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too。 These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book， so you'll know just how clea Richard Scarry's books are always a delight and this one won't disappoint。 Each page spread （with a few exceptions） is its own comical little story showcasing a different nationality and/or city。 It's a big book but it'd be easy to read a couple stories or two and pick it up again later。 A treat！Ages: 3 - 8#geography #global**Like my reviews？ I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too。 These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book， so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't。 I also have Clean Guides （downloadable PDFs） which enable you to clean up your book before reading it！ Visit my website: The Book Radar。 。。。more

Ei oikein kolmevuotiaalle uppoa matkailukirja， mutta ehkä myöhemmin。

All right， I want to be clear here: I know this book has some seriously dubious content in places。 The vast majority of the stories are set in Europe， & every single entry contains some kind of national stereotype behavior。 It's definitely flawed， & even saying "Oh， remember when it was written" isn't good enough; not really。 But I adored this book & all of the silly shenanigans the animals in the stories get up to as a young child。 Five stars for sheer nostalgia。 All right， I want to be clear here: I know this book has some seriously dubious content in places。 The vast majority of the stories are set in Europe， & every single entry contains some kind of national stereotype behavior。 It's definitely flawed， & even saying "Oh， remember when it was written" isn't good enough; not really。 But I adored this book & all of the silly shenanigans the animals in the stories get up to as a young child。 Five stars for sheer nostalgia。 。。。more

Really loved the illustrations of the different places around the world。 Lots of things going on and good to push the imagination of children。 A good read。

These stories informed my world。 This is why I want to go to Venice: A pig family in a gondola eating watermelon！ And Lowly freaking Worm！！
