Synopsis

Bing Bunny is a lovable, feisty new pre-school character, created by Kate Greenaway-shortlisted illustrator Ted Dewan. Bing takes on pre-school challenges such as getting dressed, eating 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 and Flop try some new food - but Bing doesn't like anything. That is, unless it has fallen on the floor. Then it becomes his favourite food ever-. Don't worry, Bing,It's no big thing-It's a Bing Thing!

Award News: CRISPIN, THE PIG WHO HAD IT ALL has been shortlisted for The Kate Greenaway Medal - one of the most prestigious awards for children's illustration. The judging panel have this to say about the book: "The bold, exuberant illustrations catch the reader's eye first, and then closer examination shows just how every page is crammed with extraordinary detail. Dewan's clever use of layout, colour and perspective emphasise the different moods of the story creating a sense of space, action or surprise. This story contrasts the emptiness of materialism with the warmth of friendship as it follows Crispin's heartwarming journey to understanding."

Review:

Customer reviews: "Any toddler will love these books. My thirteen month old adores them, and brings them to me so that we can read them together. Colourful, funny...an absolute must for any baby!!" "Initially I found Bing Bunny a little bizarre - but then I am an adult and not in the core target group.....my 2 year old absolutely adores it and has opened my eyes to Bing's charms." "My 28-month-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!" " I have been a professional child-carer for 20 years. The Ted Dewan Bing Bunny books have been a firm favourite with my under 3s. Some of their first words come from the stories."
