Happy Birthday, Richard Scarry!

Today would have been Richard Scarry's 85th birthday. I have friends who adored the Busytown books (as do many of my young patrons), but I was never very enamored of Goldbug and Lowly Worm and the crew.

Instead, I loved his bunnies. One of my all time favorite picture books will ever be When Bunny Grows Up, which was (is) a Little Golden Book. In fact, I love it so much I will read it as soon as I finish this, in honor of Mr. Scarry's birthday!
