Why it's on The Little Crooked Bookshelf...
We’re big fans of Richard Scarry and his Busy World, so we couldn’t wait to get our hands on this recently-discovered treasure, which was lovingly completed by Scarry’s son, Huck.

Our favorite line(s)...
“I get up in the morning and wash my face and foot.”
