With nearly every window open and every wall or outside surface potentially see-through, the structures in Busytown are exposed to your child’s meticulous scrutiny, as are the invisible processes that make our world work — like pumping water or wiring a house for electricity. The labeled drawings are delightfully detailed, the short stories amusing, and the span of the work is truly impressive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Do People Do All Day? covers farming, road building, healthcare, sea travel, railroad travel, policing, fire-fighting, and so much more. And though this classic children’s book was first published when your parents were children, not a whole lot has changed. Yes, few of us use landlines, and airlines are no longer known for their meals, but by and large, moms still work hard and the police still act quickly to keep things “safe and peaceful.” And where the book shows its age, whether with outdated occupations or stereotypes, parents can use that opportunity to talk about how things have changed. Overall What Do People Do All Day? is a gentle introduction to the value of work, both for the individuals who perform it and those who enjoy its effects.\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__features-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/insight.randomhouse.com\/widget\/v4\/?width=600\u0026amp;height=860\u0026amp;isbn=9780553520590\u0026amp;shortCode=\u0026amp;author=Richard%20Scarry\u0026amp;title=Richard%20Scarry%27s%20What%20Do%20People%20Do%20All%20Day%3F\u0026amp;refererURL=www.penguinrandomhouse.com\" target=\"new\"\u003eLook Inside\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/i\u003e Penguin Random House\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/i\u003e Richard Scarry\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFormat:\u003c\/i\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/i\u003e July 14, 2015\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePages:\u003c\/i\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAge Recommendation:\u003c\/i\u003e 3-7 Years\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFaith-Based:\u003c\/i\u003e No","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35291073904804,"sku":"117-385","price":15.99,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item","offer_id":35291073937572,"sku":"117-385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/117-385-2.jpg?v=1595335145","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/richard-scarry-what-do-people-do-all-day","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
