I read this book to my 20 month old daughter when visiting a friend's house and that must have been the abridged version because, contrary to some of the lower votes and conspiracy theorists, this reprint (as of July 2015) has all of the stories listed, including the policeman, the homemaker, the pilot, etc. that may have been left out of previous reprints. So, order with the knowledge that you are getting the full experience!That said, I would have ordered it for her even if it had been abridged as the stories and images are just wonderful, if a bit dated in parts, and there is so much there for her to discover and enjoy. Cannot recommend the book highly enough!
FINALLY! Re-Released in all its glory. What a lucky chance that I searched for this book just last week, as our (abridged) copy has been much loved over the past years and saw the pre-order for the 50th anniversary releases. I checked and the number of pages was 96! I was still a bit skeptical, I hadn't seen a full length version since my childhood (at least 25 years ago!) at the local library- but I purchased it thinking it was worth the chance. What a great revelation to see the stories I had not seen in years. My son loves it, and his favorites are all the new stories (along with his old favorites (wood, bread)Thank you to the publisher for this full release! I could not be more thrilled!PS Busy Busy World has also been released (also the full version) as of July 14 2015
YES! This 2015 edition IS unabridged! At last I own an affordable copy of the complete What Do People Do All Day? for my small children to grow up with! Thank you, thank you publishers! I will be buying more for gifts!
A great book for explaining "how things work" in a simple way for kids! A must have for the inquisitive kid and covers a range of jobs from trees and where we get paper, how we get bread, doctors/nurses/babies, and more. A good primer for money and how worker make it, buy things with it and how other merchants use money from sales to continue to create an economy.
I have been discouraging customers in our store from buying the abridged version for the last month. So glad the full version is back in print - and so affordable! If you've never seen the full version from the 60's, pick it up today!
Kids love Richard Scarry. I find his books a bit too busy, but I'm a grown-up, and the fact is that there are many, many things to point out and talk about on each and every page, and in fact the pictures are wonderful enough that even non-readers seem to love just sitting and looking at them and turning the pages to find new delights.I bought this particular copy for a birthday gift for a five year old who, visiting our house, had become uninterested in playing any more after discovering this book and just wanted to sit and look at it for the next hour. I understand! It has trains, and road building, and ships, and a visit to the hospital (although few children nowadays will have to go through the experience of getting their tonsils removed).The version we received is UNabridged. (The version I own is abridged. They're both good. But this one is thicker, and therefore better. More Scarry.)Five stars from the kids.
My toddler daughter loves this book and asks us to read it every night. I'm not a fan of Richard Scarry books at all, but at least this one isn't completely worthless or politically incorrect/socially in the dark ages.
My kids spend hours looking at the pictures and listening to me explain all the different jobs and roles that make up the members of Busytown. I have found this book to be an excellent way to increase their language and understanding of the world around them.
