What does everyone do all day in the city of Busytown? The children go to school or the library, play, or help their parents, the bakers make bread, the doctors take care of the patients, the builders construct roads and houses, the factories produce electricity and clean water, the printing houses create books, the vendors sell fruits, vegetables, newspapers, and anything else you desire, trains and airplanes come and go, grandmothers wait for news from their grandchildren, firefighters are on duty, police officers maintain order and peace - everything seems to run smoothly. However, it is not like that. Richard Scarry's cheerful world may seem outdated at first glance to today's readers, but the humor of the events and the rich variety of characters - rabbits, dogs, foxes, bears, pigs, lions - will win over today's children because the message of the book is an important and always true one: life goes on simply because, day by day, everyone does something useful not only for themselves but also for others.

Richard Scarry (1919-1994) is one of the greatest American children's literature authors. His most famous books are those in the "Busytown" series, a world where the characters - only animals of all kinds - are drivers, builders, police officers, teachers, or scientists, living in houses, driving cars, trains, or airplanes, going to the mountains, to the sea, or to museums - all narrated with much humor.
