The antics in this book will keep children entertained for hours. It is suitable for children aged 4 to 7 years old. The antics in Richard Scarry's "ABC Word Book" begin with Mother Cat causing confusion on her way to the airport and continue with Curly Pig crashing into a cak, jugglers juggling jars of jam and dizzy izzy Lizard zigzagging. There's enough wacky action to entertain children for hours and unlike many "ABC" books, this one highlights featured letters wherever they appear in a word, not just in the beginning.
Born in Boston in 1919, Richard Scarry's drawing talent led him to study at the Boston Museum School. He began his career in New York City as an illustrator and freelance artist, and in 1963 he published his first book, The Best Word Book Ever, which became an international best-seller.
