Generations of children all over the world have grown up spending hours poring over RICHARD SCARRY's oversized books filled with all the details of their lives. No other illustrator has shown such interest in the day-to-day words and concepts of childhood. Scarry was raised and educated in Boston. After five years of drawing maps and designing graphics for the U.S. Army, he moved to New York to pursue a career in commercial art. But after showing his portfolio to one of the original editors at Golden Books, he found a home for himself. In the extraordinary career that followed, Richard Scarry illustrated over one hundred books, including almost thirty Little Golden Books and ten Big Golden Books, many of which have never been out of print.
理查德·斯凱瑞，1919年出生于波士頓，美國(guó)最負(fù)盛名的兒童暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)作家。一生創(chuàng)作兒童圖書(shū)三百余部，全球銷(xiāo)量超過(guò)3億冊(cè)，是世界童書(shū)界的幽默大師。他的“金色童書(shū)”系列風(fēng)靡世界四十余年，陪伴了一代又一代人的成長(zhǎng)，是美國(guó)家庭書(shū)架和美國(guó)國(guó)家圖書(shū)館的必藏書(shū)。以善良可愛(ài)的動(dòng)物形象來(lái)模擬人類(lèi)的行為，向孩子揭示日常生活的秘密，是斯凱瑞童書(shū)的最大特色。圖書(shū)中豐富的信息量，精心設(shè)計(jì)的微小細(xì)節(jié)，以及故事中的游戲性和天馬行空般的想象，會(huì)引導(dǎo)孩子長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地投入觀察和閱讀，培養(yǎng)他們的觀察力和想像力。斯凱瑞的童書(shū)對(duì)于幼兒學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言，了解自然界和社會(huì)生活有著很大的幫助，非常適合親子閱讀。斯凱瑞的童書(shū)中充滿了快樂(lè)和溫情，在世界范圍內(nèi)受到了廣泛歡迎。他曾說(shuō)：“我不希望我寫(xiě)出的書(shū)是那種讀過(guò)一遍以后就放在書(shū)架上，從此被遺忘的書(shū)。如果人們將我的書(shū)讀舊了，甚至破到需要用透明膠帶粘起來(lái)，是對(duì)我最大的褒獎(jiǎng)。”1976年，斯凱瑞榮獲美國(guó)愛(ài)倫·坡特別獎(jiǎng)。
