A summer day to explore, scene by scene

Bustletown is shown in the midst of summer: workers are busy, children fill the playgrounds, and travelers head to the station. Across the large illustrated spreads, familiar figures reappear as they move between homes, parks, offices, and other parts of town. Small details invite close looking, including balloons that drift through the scenes and a storm that leaves a rainbow behind. The book’s recurring characters and bustling settings give young children plenty to point out, follow, and talk about together, while leaving room to make up stories about what they see.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy looking for details in busy illustrations
  • Caregivers seeking a picture book to explore and discuss together

Book overview

Kids will enjoy hours of fun exploring these vibrantly detailed drawings that celebrate the joys of summer in a busy town.

It's summer and that means flowers, picnics, thunderstorms, and bike rides. It's a busy time for construction workers, farmers, and house painters. Playgrounds are filled with kids and vacationers are boarding trains in droves. In the sky a pair of balloons drifts through every scene, while on the street people of all ages make their way to an outdoor birthday party. There's even a big storm that turns umbrellas inside out, sends hats flying, but ends in a lovely rainbow. As kids pore over these oversized spreads, they will delight in identifying the same characters on each page as they walk, play, jog, and roller skate--from homes to parks and office buildings to rail stations. In the tradition of Richard Scarry and Where's Waldo, this book encourages kids to return again and again to these charming spreads, following along with the characters and inventing their own stories. All kinds of summer activities come alive in these endearing drawings that provide endless entertainment and spark engaging conversations.
