The Busy World of Richard Scarry Wiki
Advertisement

Richard Scarry's Best First Book Ever is one of the books by Richard Scarry. All of the characters (except Sergeant Murphy) wear shoes in this book (although the characters in the "Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son," "Jack Be Nimble," "Little Miss Muffet," and "Georgie Porgie" sections are barefoot), not just Lowly Worm (but he is only wearing one shoe, as usual). It is also a word book. It was published in 1979. Throughout most of the book, Mr. Frumble is shown chasing his hat, as usual, and is never seen catching it or otherwise having gotten it back.
