Are you kidding me? No reviews for this amazing book(published in 1996)!? And Stephen Biesty is not listed as one of the authors(even though his name is part of the title?)? Inconceivable! And where is the cover image for this wonderful book(I can not see it on the main page)? Curious.

This is a WONDERFUL book that provides hours --yes, hours-- of entertainment and learning. It is sort of like a grown-up(or older kid) version of a Richard Scarry book: so much to see, so much to explore, delightful illustrations with hidden "easter eggs" throughout. A wonderful book for kids of all ages and the grown-ups who love them.
