Review
A new series of children's books, The BogeyBugz have been handpicked to save the world from environmental disaster. The series aims to entertain whilst educating children on simple ways to look after the planet, starting in their homes. --KangaNews, Oct 07
Bold and put-on-your sunglasses bright. Fonts vary and keywords are made larger and heavier to add weight to the stories. All the stories focus on solving an environmental problem, and there is always a sense of neatly summarised in the blurb on the back of each book. The stories are also kept short, to a five-minute read, because Lever knows from experience that anything longer becomes a chore for tired parents. To add to the environmental credibility of the project, P3 contacted the global conservation body WWF, who jumped at the chance to be involved. It's famous panda logo appears on the books and a percentage of the proceeds from each sale goes directly to the body. It also provided environmental tips, in the "facteria" section at the end of each story. --Sunday Morning Post, Oct 07
Out to save the world, these five "fun-loving, thrill-seeking, viral" (yep viral) environmental crusaders show how it's done - with a bottle of their special washing up liquid! From tackling acid rain (check out the cool tin-foil umbrellas) to putting out fires (with water-soaked sheep), children of all ages will love these stories and the brightly hued illustrations. A portion of the sale of each box set of four will be donated to the WWF. --Singapore Young Parents, Apr 08
