When I think of Busytown, I always think book pages filled with animals driving crazy cars throughout a town flanked with words describing what we are seeing.
Inhabited by anthropomorphic animal characters including Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm, Hilda Hippo, Bananas Gorilla and many others, Busytown is world full of learning opportunities.
Library.
Table.
Chair.
Book.
Paper.
Pencil.
From large to small it is there in Busytown, a fictional town created by long time children’s author Richard Scarry.
My husband and I grew up reading and learning with Richard Scarry’s animal friends. When G-tot turned two, we bought him a huge Richard Scarry book so he could have that same great experience of discovering new words and learning new things in Busytown.
Needless to say, we are big fans of Busytown in this house. We read the books. We watch the shows. We play with the toys.
And YOU have a chance to win a great prize pack and play with Richard Scarry’s Busytown toys too!
