Richard Scarry

Google Doodle honors Richard Scarry today.  He was born in Boston in 1919 and authored many of my favorite children's books.  I loved his books because they were so full of details and well-known characters such as Huckle Cat, Sargent Murphy, and my favorite one-legged Lowly Worm.  Scarry's characters resided and  interacted in Busytown.  Each page was full of activity, primary colors, and happy busy characters with lessons on manners and behavior.  But, most of all, they were fun to read with children.



Lowly worm....where are you when I need you?!?
