Bing Bunny is a lovable, feisty preschool character created by Ted Dewan, who was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration.

In an exciting new illustration style for Dewan, Bing Bunny has a freshness and friendliness that is both appealing and different, and sure to be a hit with toddlers and preschoolers.

Bing: Paint Day is a celebration of color, paint, making pictures, and making a mess! Painting pictures—it’s a Bing thing!

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Reviewed with Dewan's Bing: Get Dressed.

PreS. It's hard to know what's more fun here, the computer-collage art or the satisfying way Dewan captures a child's world. The child is bunny-boy Bing. In Get Dressed, he and stuffed animal Flop awake, and Flop starts facilitating the dressing with comments every parent will recognize: take off the pajamas; can you put the shirt on by yourself? Bing gets a "good for you" as he completes each layer, but alas, when he's all dressed he wets himself and the process begins again. In Paint Day, a splash of each color helps Bing paint all sorts of nice pictures (with some parental advice from Flop), until a spill makes all the colors mush together. With eye-catching illustrations in neon-bright hues, these small books will easily attract children, and their easy-going message--messes sometimes happen--will reassure them. Each book ends with the phrase, "It's a Bing thing," but it's every kid's thing, too. Ilene Cooper

5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy about Bing!, February 14, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bing: Paint Day (Bing Bunny) (Hardcover)

My 2 year old is crazy about Bing Bunny and the adorable Flop! The stories are so appropriate and appeal directly to the toddler mind; calling to attention all the things that toddlers' notice. The crisis concerning the loss of Flop in Bing Bed Time is especially important: one cannot go to bed without Flop! (or in our case, Dee). We plan to purchase all the books. Great quality and excellent illustrations!

This review is from: Bing: Paint Day (Bing Bunny) (Hardcover)

I wish Bing were as popular in America as Barney is. These books are a hoot and my son just can't get enough of them. I checked all 8 out from the library and had to end up buying them.

Bing is a bunny who interacts with his stuffed animal Flop. The books show Bing learning colors, foods, potty training, etc., all in the course of a day.

Adults will enjoy the '60s vibe of the cars, houses and furniture in the books.

Maybe an animated Bing show in America will make these books as popular as they deserve to be.
