We love Richard Scarry so much. His books are old, though, and often compiled kind of weirdly. This is no exception.
"I am a Bunny" is featured in this book, but most of the pages are missing, and there's an extra page with insects on it that isn't in our board book version.
Other stories seem to be complete. The nursery rhymes are scattered throughout. The prints are of varying degrees of quality.
You take what you can get, though.
Not all of the stories are good, but the ones that we like to read are fantastic. They label instruments, they explain colour theory, there's counting and letters and all kinds of educational fun.
My favourite is the alphabet of things to feed and not feed a hippo. My daughter is on the edge of understanding comedy. If you ask her whether we should feed the hippo a nest or a nut, she will angrily explain that she already picked out the banana on the first page.
I'm sure she'll get the joke in a year or two.
