Richard Scarry's Biggest Word Book Ever!
Richard Scarry. Random House Books for Young Readers, $39.95 (14pp) ISBN 978-0-394-87374-9
The latest by the author-illustrator of consistent bestsellers is as tall as a toddler, the only two-foot book ever published in this country for children. Scarry packs countless, full-color pictures of his familiar characters on the wide pages, each perky creature identified by a short word or phrase. As a giant dictionary and amusement, the book is a can't-fail item for small boys and girls. It is strongly constructed and can stand up to years of use. (36)
