Do you remember this or any other of Richard Scarry's books?
I loved it. It was written with the intention that children would be amused but at the same time learn about words and numbers and even about things like sharing and helping.
And it worked. I lapped up every image. I loved the human qualities of the animals and the enormity of the elephant perched on his trike.
And I scoured the different rooms, looking for humorous pictures of the 'children' getting up to mischief. I was completely duped by the fact that I was learning English, Maths, Geography, Zoology and Ethics at the same time!
