Synopsis:
Welcome to Bustletown! There's so much to see. So many places to go to. Explore the market square. Stop by the train station. Skate on the pond. Even in winter, people and animals go about their busy lives: Anne misses the bus again, Lena's parrot goes on a little trip, and someone lost their red wallet...
Our Thoughts:
Just one in a seasonal quartet, All Around Bustletown: Winter takes us on a journey throughout a cozy little town in winter, showing us a snowy day that turns the town white and all the people bustling about on their daily errands!
All around Bustletown is a unique extra-large board book without words (except on signs around town) that can be both a story you create yourself with endless possibilities or a look-and-find! Or both!
The very back of the book shows several characters that are featured in the illustrated pages (as shown in this photo), stating their names and what they are doing, which helps prompt you to search for and follow them throughout the pages. You can easily make up and/or continue stories for the many characters shown throughout the book.
There is no end to the detail in these illustrated pages! You can spend a great amount of time absorbed in each page looking at everything there is to see or you can move quickly through the book following the characters!

One thing I love about these kinds of books is that you can 'read' it over and over and almost always find something new. There is so much to notice that you might have previously overlooked!
It's also a great interactive book for those kiddos that want to be part of the story rather than just listen to it! My daughter and I always have a fun time with these kinds of books and I've found that they keep her interest for much longer than a typical storybook so that's a big win from me!
