It all begins with the alphabet. But when it's Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, it doesn't end there. From home, to school, covering everyday objects and broad concepts, young readers will be engrossed as they look at the oversized pages and identify all of their favorite things: toy, trains, cars and occupations and much more. From a tiny dot on the "Little Things" page, to one whale on the the "Numbers" page, this classic favorite contains almost everything in a little one's world.

Generations of children all over the world have grown up spending hours poring over RICHARD SCARRY's oversized books filled with all the details of their lives. No other illustrator has shown such interest in the day-to-day words and concepts of childhood. Scarry was raised and educated in Boston. After five years of drawing maps and designing graphics for the U.S. Army, he moved to New York to pursue a career in commercial art. But after showing his portfolio to one of the original editors at Golden Books, he found a home for himself. In the extraordinary career that followed, Richard Scarry illustrated over one hundred books, including almost thirty Little Golden Books and ten Big Golden Books, many of which have never been out of print.
