Good Read: What Do People Do All Day?



My sister shared with me this book that she is currently reading with my niece. In this book, Richard Scarry introduces individual citizens of Busytown and then tells short stories about the specific projects they are involved in, for example, building a house, mailing a letter and putting out a fire.

It is a wonderful book that can be used to expose kids to the different jobs in society. It also shows that everything we do is connected to another person or project. Parents can emphasise to the kids that with the help of each other and hard work, the society is what it is now.

This book is great for vocabulary building for young kids. It also gives the kids an insight into what their parents and others around do every day.  Moreover, the illustrations are detailed.

Suggestion for parents: You can even use this book for I Spy activity.
