- <p> DIED. RICHARD SCARRY, 74, best-selling American author and illustrator
- of children's books; of a heart attack; in Gstaad, Switzerland.
- An expatriate since 1968, Scarry crafted an irresistible, cluttered,
- whimsically benign world for curious toddlers that was populated
- by animal characters of every size, shape and dress. Among his
- well-known creations: Huckle Cat, Sergeant Murphy and--Scarry's
- favorite--Lowly Worm, an ever present Tyrolean-hatted earthworm.
- Preserved in many households only by the saving grace of glue
- and Scotch tape, Scarry's 250 or so books have sold more than
- 100 million copies worldwide and earlier this year spawned a
- cable-television animated series, The Busy World of Richard
- Scarry.
