An entomological deconstruction of America's obsession with speed and motion. Poses the highway as a cite of disordered exchange and anxiety. The motorist is both weeping and laughing knowing disaster is inevitable. Trucks become pickles. Pickles become trucks. Hellish.Feb 21, 2015
I don't generally put children's books on Goodreads.May 12, 2015
Read this to both kids approximately 18 million times, looking for Goldbug on every page.Sep 24, 2009
There is no better book to read with a child than this. Lay down on your tummies and flip through the pages, looking for Goldbug and enjoying the trip along with the Pig family. It's fun to point out different things going on on the wildly busy pages! Thank heaven for Richard Scarry!Aug 03, 2017
We are always looking for Goldbug, but what is Goldbug looking for?Aug 03, 2015
I remembered this one from childhood, and my kid also loves it. Lots to look at and talk about on each page. And of course finding Goldbug is fun!Aug 28, 2013
I spent hours reading this to my kids. In case you didn't know, gold bug is on every busy page. A wonderful book to read to a curious toddler to pre-schooler.Aug 04, 2011
My five year old can find Gold Bug better than me, and I am assuming it is due to some sort of childhood golden innocence, and that when she gets jaded and has a few dreams crushed, the little guy will get harder and harder to see until he finally disappears on the page.May 02, 2009
This book is a delight, surprising in its level of real humor. The ambience created by the diverse cars on the highway and the scenes that they pass is something special, and I find that this Richard Scarry book holds up very nicely over time. My family and I have been determinedly searching for Goldbug in these pages from as far back as I can remember. This book is inextricably tied to a lot of good memories for me, but it stands up quite well independent of those memories, too.Jul 26, 2014
This is our breakfast companion book, known to my son as 'huge book'. It is a 'huge' book, filled with many illustrations of Scarry's imagined (and some real) trucks, planes, trains, and vehicles of all kinds. He loves having me read the story, looking for the hidden 'Goldbug' in each page spread, and coming up with his own names for the vehicles. Lots to look at, like most of Scarry's books, so we spend a lot of time with it.

This was one of the books my parents read to me and my brother when we were very young. It is interesting to see how non-linear this book is. The story is very loose, and the pages are very busy. I had a lot of fun finding Goldbug on each page. Probably the strangest thing for me was opening the book and getting a whiff of the way it smelled. It smelled the same as it did over 25 years ago. It was a surreal experience. I was looking for nostalgia and found it with this book. Good stuff.Aug 02, 2011
This is currently my 2-year-old son's favorite book, so I'm reading it every day. Figured I'd better mark it down here. I know he is following in good footsteps since it was also one of my favorites at his age. Goldbug is on every page and he can find him immediately. I'm very proud.Jul 01, 2017
Haven't read the book we just flipped through it naming most of the cars. There is just so much in this book, we'll have to revisit it a couple times before we can finish the whole thing. :)Mar 12, 2017
I read this to my son almost every night. He loves finding goldbug on every page.Jan 05, 2019
This is the coolest classic storybook!! So many things are happening on each page, it truly encourages a dialogue with your little person and a keen eye to seek out that silly Goldbug hiding on each page. It took us three sittings to finish this book, but it was worth it to see if Officer Flossy ever caught up to that rascally Dingo Dog!Aug 31, 2018
I keep wanting to buy books as presents for toddlers I know, but then when I get to the bookstore, I draw a blank on which books have really been a hit with Leo and me. So I'm going to put a few books on a shelf here to remind myself, for when I need to buy books for kids.Sep 07, 2019
Like many other children, my son is OBSESSED with vehicles. Wheels. Cars. Tyres. Trucks. Trains. Diggers... you get the idea. With that comes a propensity towards a certain type of book: non-fiction, diagrammatical, straightforward, terminology-based. Which is great, because that’s what he’s into. I try to jazz up these reads with ad-libbed extra factoids and fun traffic noises. But after the tenth or eleventh such book on its twentieth or thirtieth reading, I am done.

Reading labelled engine parts does get a little dry after a while. If only there were another way... cue Richard Scarry. Who I can’t thank enough for his refreshing take on the genre.Jul 24, 2018
My kids have actually been interested in the classic Richard Scarry books for years. There is so much to look at! There are always a lot of vehicles and animals and there a lot of physical humor.Feb 05, 2019
I used to love Richard Scarry books as a child. This was so long ago, I don't remember the stories or which books I read, but seeing those pictures for the first time in decades brought on a huge wave of familiarity.Dec 13, 2017
Oh My God! I stumbled upon this book on the internet today and all the memory came flooding back. This was my absolute favorite book to read when I was a child. As a picture book, this was absolutely delightful. There's just so many little details, secrets, and easter eggs packed in a 70-page picture book that I absolutely adored. I used to read it together with my brother over and over again while trying to find the golden bug. We also used to play make believe that we're actually going Oh My God!

Hi everyone! I'm working for a Russian website dedicated to children's books and children's reading. We've been building the English version of the website and recently published an article on Cars, Trucks and Things That Go. The author talks about how he uses a book to read to his kids with a two-year age difference. Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://www.papmambook.ru/articles/3182/Sep 15, 2018
Getting a present for my smol housemate's birthday, and this instantly came to mind...doesn't disappoint on re-reading. Full of exuberant, detailed drawings labelling everything from realistically rendered machinery to full-on fantasy in the form of pickle trucks and corn cars. The humour is fabulous, the dramatic changes of scene on every turn of the page are endlessly creative, and I love the continuity and drama provided by Officer Flossy, Mistress Mouse, the pig family, and Goldbug.Mar 25, 2019
Despite having heard the author's name many times, this may have been the first time I actually looked into one of his books. While it was amusing at moments, there was so much going on and the story seemed so disjointed and even pointless that I wondered what the point of the book was. To look for details and continuity in the pictures...? I have to wonder what it teaches children about storytelling, honestly.Aug 17, 2017
Personally, I'm not overawed with this book, but my 2 1/2 year old is absolutely obsessed with it! And who's to argue with a toddler?Oct 28, 2019
As the parent I really want to give this book two stars. I've had to read it multiple times a day the last week. It's a LONG children's book. Depending on how many vehicles my 3 year old wants me to name. We also have to search for Goldbug on every page. And the actual story is ridiculous. But seeing how excited my son gets every time is worth it. And from reading the reviews here, he's not alone. A great children's book that caregivers will love to hate.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
