Secondarily, the book can help a child to read. The adult should not hit them over the head with this, but let it happen naturally as they become interested in print. None of this "Let's sound it out" business; wait until they take an interest, and guide them calmly, without that tension and whoop-de-do that so often comes from a parent when a child first start to look at words.

Richard Scarry's Best Little Word Book Ever is everything I hate about children's literature. I know the assumption is, that because something is for kids, the barrier of entry for the quality of a product doesn't need to be very high, since a thing doesn't usually need to be of particularly good quality to hold a child's attention, but I'm not a fan of this assumption.Ukrainian Adaptation of Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever - Ukrainian-English-French, 2nd interactive Internet edition".

Following his great success with Best Word Book Ever, Richard Scarry went on to create a large number of other children's books in the same style with similar animals, a similar dominance of the art over the text and even similar names, including Best First Book Ever, Best Little Word Book Ever and his last book Richard Scarry's Biggest Word Book Ever. Various Best Ever books were adapted to video and a television series, " The Busy World of Richard Scarry," ran on Showtime from 1994 to 1997. I think the book starts off with a bit of a narrative (introfucing the family, following them as they go out shopping), then becomes more like a list of places and words associated with them, rather than about the family. It also ends in a bit of a rush. Kenny and Kathy Bear and their Busytown friends introduce new and familiar names for objects grouped by subject, theme, and setting, in the city and on the farm, at the dentist and at the grocer's, in the kitchen and at the circus and all the places they frequent.

Richard Scarry wrote many different kinds of books. He delighted in telling funny stories, and even wrote several very clever detective stories. This is a very cute picture book. It is mainly to boost a child's vocabulary and help them identify things in the world around them. Ottawa, Ukrainian Publishing.
