Amazon.com Review
Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older) --Gail Hudson

Childhood Favorite! December 22, 2008
E. Lippert (Minnesota)
This was one of my favorite books as a child and now it's one of my daughter's too! We read/look at it at least four times a day!

William C. Turpin (Hattiesburg, MS)
I read this book to my son, who thoroughly enjoyed it, and I now gave it to my grandson so my son can read it to him. It is a fun book.
Beloved Book November 26, 2008
JBabb (San Francisco, CA United States)
My 17 month old daughter received "The Best Word Book Ever" as a gift and immediately loved it. I purchased a couple other Richard Scarry books and "Cars and Trucks" has surfaced as the favorite, mainly because she loves searching for the gold bug in every scene. The other Richard Scarry books we own have the worm and bug hiding out here and there, but this is the only one that I've found, so far, that has the "where's gold bug" consistenly throughout. She loves it and I know that as she grows, she'll learn to love it for other reasons, including the kooky characters and funny storyline.

I got one of my favorite Children's books in good shape and it came quickly.
My daughter loves The Goldbug Hunt October 29, 2008
chippenziedeutch (Atlanta, GA)
My 2-year old daughter *loves* this book, especially finding Goldbug. Although now she's done it so many times, she remembers where he is on each page, so even though it's still fun for her, it's lost a little of the mystery. Can anyone recommend any similar proto-'where's waldo'-type books for toddlers?
