Meet the Busiest Man
Career
Richard Scarry was an author and illustrator whose picture books invite readers into a busy, friendly world. His stories turn ordinary places into scenes full of things to notice, name, and explore.
In Busytown, animals run shops, deliver mail, build houses, and go about their day. Characters such as Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm make these everyday adventures feel wonderfully familiar.

His books encourage curiosity about other people and the work they do. There is always another corner of Busytown to discover.
