(3) PS This book about the beloved denizens of Busytown is based on recently discovered Lowly Worm sketches done by Richard Scarry, "finished and colored" by his son Huck. Very loosely following a day-in-the-life structure, there's a little bit of everything for preschoolers: school, body parts (humorous, given Lowly's physique), manners, counting, vehicles, a search-and-find game, etc. It's all typically busy and comfortably familiar.
