Bing: Something for Daddy [Hardcover]

Ted Dewan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 4, 2003

Bing Bunny is a loveable, feisty new pre-school character, created by Kate Greenaway-shortlisted illustrator Ted Dewan. Bing takes on pre-school challenges such as getting dressed, eating your breakfast and going to the park in his own inimitable style. He is a modern pre-schooler and, in Ted Dewan's exciting new artwork style, has a freshness and friendliness that is both appealing and different from anything else on the market. Bing: Something for Daddy sees Bing making a picture with lots of sticky goo, colours, sparkly things and paper. Just when things look like they're finally going OK, Bing stops for a snack and puts down his lovely present for a moment. But where is it? What's happened to it? Uh-oh. Making Something for Daddy - it's a Bing thing!

Was very impressed with the seller sending it so promptly. However, my daughter always checks the "Bing" books out at the library. We had not seen this one, and purchased it. Was cute, but did not have the flow of rhyme and content as the other Bing books. Bing Yuk, Bing Swing, and Bing Picnic still remain at the top. Purchase only if you have the other ones as the other ones will remain a treasure for your little one. Overall good purchase.

This review is from: Bing: Something for Daddy (Bing Bunny) (Hardcover)

Why aren't these books better known in the US? My sons absolutely love the Bing Books. Dewan knows exactly how to write a book that has the right rhythm and colors to engage even the youngest child. When my younger son was a newborn and ignored most books, he enjoyed Bing. Now that he is a year and a half, he spends hours flipping through them and laughs the whole time - which is the same effect these books had on my older son.

If I were to only buy one of the Bing series, Something for Daddy would be it. My kids get such a kick out of reading about "goo" and "sparkles".

Like all the Bing books, this story beautifully captures the exuberance of toddlerdom. Bing and his Zen master, Flop, turn a giant mess of an art project into a lovely, fridge-worthy masterpiece with the application of "goo" and "sparkles." While the house-cleaner in you may cringe at the giant trail of glitter dragged through Bing's home, how can you deny the lovely gesture of Bing's homage to Daddy? Less housework, more art!
