My four year old son said ''I love the pictures in this book. I can see all the machines and how they do all the work with the people. It is very exciting to see the men and the tools go down the manhole and work under the road, and I also really like seeing the train station and its workers and then the family on the train. The pictures are funny too, with gorillas dropping their bananas and a little bug driving a toy digger to make the big road. I think little boys should all read this book.''
It's not just for boys though as my six -year -old daughter explained what she enjoyed: ''The words are easy to read in this book, and I like how I can put my bookmark in it to read about more jobs and stuff more people do after I finish one of the other stories. I like seeing all the jobs and how I see lots of girls doing jobs with the boys and it is very real to me. I like the pictures too, they are very funny with lots of silly things like a buffalo car in them. I think girls and boys will all love this book and all kids should have it.''
The bottom line is, this is a simply fantastic book for children. Entertaining with zany pictures that are rich in detail and full of mayhem and wonder, and clear simple text, this book is a worthy addition to any childhood bookshelf. Actually, I have to say this book is so good, it should be a crime for a child NOT to have it!
You might also enjoy the confusingly-titled [[Paul Smith for Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go by Richard Scarry]]. Slightly older children might enjoy [[The Human Machine by Richard Walker]].
