Summary: Everyone is busy working, but what do people do all day? Captain Salty and his crew are getting ready to go on a voyage, Sergeant Murphy is working to keep things safe and peaceful. And in the woods Lumberjacks are cutting down the trees. It's a busy day in Busytown. Ages 4-7.

Review: What do people do all day? They keep busy and "this is Busytown" in ninety-four of the busiest (i.e. active, crowded) pages you've ever seen; the wonder is how Mr. Scarry found time to draw so many cartoons, cut-aways and animal cutups. Going about their everyday business are Stitches the (rabbit) tailor. Able Baker Charlie (a mouse), Zip the (raccoon) postman. Sawdust the (cat) carpenter, assorted pigs, bears, foxes, etc., etc., sometimes assisted by their wives and children. What's intended as a kindergarten cross between the Occupational Outlook Handbook and How Things Work in a series of increasingly technical episodes (from mailing a letter to making electricity) is essentially a medley of fact and fancy, or a three-ring circus in the guise of a one-volume encyclopedia. Unless you're amused by such sideshows as a wild Indian raccoon (named Wild Bill Hiccup) causing traffic jams (in his Buffalomobile), you won't pay the price of admission. (Kirkus Reviews)
