Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy World

Product Information

Scarry was sensitive to claims his depictions of female characters in Busytown reinforced general stereotypes,. [9] In one case, he said, his editor labeled a telephone worker Tom the Telephone Man even though he had given the character a pink bow and called her Tina. He refused to accept, however, that they promoted violence. [1] References [ edit ] Busytown has been praised for its educational value. By presenting animals in having different roles, for example "bear" and "mailman" young children are encouraged to conceive of objects as displaying different conceptual attributes simultaneously. That is, each one can be easily seen as belonging to two categories at the same time. [7] It has also been described as helping children learn prescience skills. The presentation of different scenarios along with questions like :what do you think might happen next" taught children to interact with and think about what is happening in the drawings.
