關於作者：
"I''m not interested in creating a book that is read once and
then placed on the shelf and forgotten," Richard Scarry once said.
"I am very happy when people write that they have worn out my
books, or that they are held together by Scotch tape. I consider
that the ultimate compliment." Considering the propensity of
Scarry''s preschool-age readership to ask for their favorite books
again and again, it''s a compliment he must have received often
during his tenure as one of the most popular children''s authors of
all time.
Scarry began his career as a freelance illustrator, drawing
pictures to accompany the text of books by children s authors such
as Margaret Wise Brown, Kathryn Jackson, and Patricia Murphy who
became Patricia Scarry when she married Richard in 1949. His first
two efforts at writing his own books, The Great Big Car and
Truck Book 1951 and Rabbit and His Friends 1953,
already suggest some of his interests as an author: travel,
technology, and talking animals.
But it was the 1963 publication of Richard Scarry''s Best Word
Book Ever that put Scarry on bestseller lists, and established
his signature style. Its densely packed pages are populated by
anthropomorphic animals at work and play, in drawings that reward
multiple readings with details children and parents may not
notice at first glance. The large-format book contains over 1400
illustrated and labeled objects, along with simple introductions to
concepts like sharing and helping.
In Busy, Busy World 1965, Scarry''s animals star in a
series of international adventures in such far-flung locales as
Paris, Rome, and Algeria. Well before multiculturalism was an
educational buzzword, Scarry believed he could use animals to help
children imaginatively enter others'' experiences. In a
Publishers Weekly interview, he explained that "children can
identify more closely with pictures of animals than they can with
pictures of another child. They see an illustration of a blond girl
or a dark-haired boy, who they know is somebody other than
themselves, and competition creeps in. With imagination -- and
children all have marvelous imagination -- they can easily identify
with an anteater who is a painter or a goat who is an Indian."
