A Busy World

Happy Birthday, Richard Scarry! (1919-1994). This children's author and illustrator published over 300 books, many of them translated into multiple languages.



I have some very happy memories of watching Richard Scarry videos when I was little. Lowly Worm, Huckle Cat, and Hilda Hippo were just some of the fun characters created by this author.



Richard Scarry's most famous books are about the animals that live in Busytown. These stories are the ones the tv series, The Busy World of Richard Scarry, was based on.

Celebrate the works of this author today by checking out some of the kids' books and dvds available through the Lackawanna County Library System:

Dvds:
Busytown Mysteries: Pickle of a Pickle in Busytown
Hooray for Huckle: Zooming Around Busytown
