If you don't blanche at that, perhaps the additional limited edition would also be of interest, one thousand copies at about – well, an awful lot of pocket money. In this case approximately three times the price of a standard edition. Whilst book reviews normally focus on the quality of the story rather than the cover price, it is worth a mention that designer fashion costs. The man who is more known for his suits than his stories has restyled this forty-year-old as a handsome hardback, sporting an interactive slip jacket – removing the book turns the traffic lights from red to green and gives the vehicles some go-faster stripes. However, I’m pretty sure though that I never saw a shark car, wolf wagon or pickle truck on either the M5 or the I5.įirst published in 1974, Cars and Trucks and Things that Go has been reissued in a Paul Smith special anniversary hardback edition. This is an American book so some of the cars, trucks and fire engines may look a little unfamiliar. Prepare to be dazzled along the journey by more vehicles than you ever thought existed all illustrated and labelled. That’s a quiet page in Richard Scarry’s Cars and Trucks and Things That Go. In and around Ma and Pa Pig’s house there are no less than seven motors. The pig family are heading out for a picnic and – goodness – they are going to have some ride! This is the loose storyline that functions as a vehicle (pun intended) to introduce a mind-boggling array of ‘things that go’. Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books This is a special anniversary edition clad in a Paul Smith designer wrap adding style and interactive fun to this 70’s classic. Summary: Fasten your seat belt for a bumpy ride with Richard Scarry and his ‘Cars and Trucks and Things That Go’.
