Bing: Yuk!

I read Paint Day and Getting Dressed to my 3 yr old son every night. He absolutely loves these books and tricked Grandpa into thinking that he was actually reading these books! After mastering Paint Day in English we introduced the Japanese equivalents for the colors. I'm amazed how rapidly his young mind can absorb all this new knowledge! Sometimes he even imitates the facial expressions of Bing and Flop. I'm ordering the rest of these books now...for me. I love reading these books to him.

My 28 mn old son LOVES Bing Bunny and Flop more than any other book character!!!!! Sometimes I have to read these books over and over in one setting. They have really nurtured my son's love of books. Thank-you Ted Dewan!

Bing Bunny is charming, a handul, and willful. In short, just like our kids. My younger daughter kept the Bing books so long from the library that I ordered all eight. When they arrived today she was elated - spent the entire day asking me to read them or 'reading' them to herself. Her sister came home from school and tried to touch one but a full toddler meltdown appeared likely so she backed away from the stack. Bing has a great rhythm for reading aloud, interesting easy to follow art, and a lack of preaching. Bing might get in trouble, but he doesn't have to be a model citizen. In Yuk! Bing is faced with a tomato. Bing does not want to try the tomato. Bing is cajoled with all the food he does like (roundy eggs, snappy carrots) and asked to try the tomato. Bing knocks it to the floor and gets a time out. But Bing doesn't have to try the tomato. Brilliant.

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.

We love Bing! My son is 3 1/2 and my daughter is 1 1/2 and they both love Bing Bunny. My daughter loves how colorful and cute the artwork is and my son is just getting interested in trying to read so he likes to help with the words. I am required to read all three of the Bing books that we currently own each and every night. I will have to acquire the remaining 5 books before their birthdays this summer or mayhem could ensue. Great books for an honest look at toddlerhood. It's a Bing Thing!
