"Long a favorite in my family, Richard Scarry's "What Do People Do All Day?" is great for kids and the adults that read it with them. This is a truly exceptional children's classic that's genuinely educational and is beautifully illustrated. The short vignettes that teach kids about various occupations are thoughtful and contain an astonishing amount of detail, and the characters in Scarry's books are always wonderful (my personal are Huckle, the kitten; Mortimer, the mouse; Captain Reddy, the pilot; Doctor Lion; and of course everyone's favorite annelid, Lowly Worm).
This is a classic for a much deserved reason: it's simply one of the best and endearing children's books ever written!"

Richard Scarry What Do People Do All Day? Richard Scarry Busy World Richard Scarry Books Reviews
- They finally re-released the original unabridged version!!! This is the exact book I had as a kid over 30 years ago. By the time I started high school my parents had given away all of the children's books I loved, I suppose not thinking that I might want them for my own children some day. Anyhow, when my oldest child was first born I went looking for a bunch of the old books I was so fond of back in the day and this was one of the ones I bought on . However, the one I bought about 5 years ago turned out to be an abridged version with many of the stories missing. I was NOT happy about that, and if you look at so many of the reviews for that version you'll see I'm not alone. Apparently (or Golden Books) took notice of all the bad reviews and complaints regarding the abridged version and opted to do the right thing and release the book once again in its original form. Please keep in mind that this is the original edition that so many people like me remember from their own childhood and thus is not up to date by todays "PC" standards. I for one am happy about that because I don't feel that old works should be updated to meet current culture, they are history and should be left as such. Buy contemporary books if you want them to contain contemporary culture. If this book had actually been written in 2015, I could understand many of the complaints about it that you'll see on so many of the negative reviews, but it wasn't written in 2015, it was written in 1968, so if you don't want your kids to know what life was like back in 1968, then avoid this book--in which case there are thousands upon thousands of other classic works of literature that you'll also have to avoid as well, so be careful! Of course, you could just do the smart thing and educate your child when they ask why things are shown the way they are in this book and explain why things are different now.
- I read this book to my 20 month old daughter when visiting a friend's house and that must have been the abridged version because, contrary to some of the lower votes and conspiracy theorists, this reprint (as of July 2015) has all of the stories listed, including the policeman, the homemaker, the pilot, etc. that may have been left out of previous reprints. So, order with the knowledge that you are getting the full experience!
That said, I would have ordered it for her even if it had been abridged as the stories and images are just wonderful, if a bit dated in parts, and there is so much there for her to discover and enjoy. Cannot recommend the book highly enough! - YES! This 2015 edition IS unabridged! At last I own an affordable copy of the complete What Do People Do All Day? for my small children to grow up with! Thank you, thank you publishers! I will be buying more for gifts!
- A great book for explaining "how things work" in a simple way for kids! A must have for the inquisitive kid and covers a range of jobs from trees and where we get paper, how we get bread, doctors/nurses/babies, and more. A good primer for money and how worker make it, buy things with it and how other merchants use money from sales to continue to create an economy.

This is a truly exceptional children's classic that's genuinely educational and is beautifully illustrated.

This is a classic for a much deserved reason it's simply one of the best and endearing children's books ever written! - A favorite young children's book that they still enjoy when they are older. It's been a long time since I read this book to my son and daughter. My daughter is 9 now and still looks at the pictures and reads it herself. Lots of other books were labeled "baby books " to give away but this one stays on her shelf. Richard Scarry's stories and characters are classics of childhood. His genus was taking complicated issues, like the inner workings of a house, and illustrating it so a five year old could understand a furnace, fuel tank, hot water heater, and cold air return. In addition to building a house there are pages on Tom Sawyer's Sawmill, Foolscap's Paper Company, a train trip, ship voyage and bread making in Able Baker Charlie's oven. When my son was younger his favorite story and pictures explained building a new road.
