What Hacker News says
- Richard Scarry - Busy, busy town. It is still great
- > I still remember one of the books I had as a child—can't recall the title exactly—that had a bunch of urban scenes with various objects labeled.
I have this in my son's room. It's called "Busy Busy Town".
- For something that's more of a substantial story than things like Cars & Trucks or Busy Busy Town, let me put in a word for Peasant Pig and the Terrible Dragon. My kids had it pretty much memorized long before they could read it for themselves.
