From School Library Journal
PreS - These small, easy-to-handle picture books feature a black bunny wearing striped overalls and his stuffed-toy sidekick, Flop. In the first title, the energetic duo pack items for an outdoor picnic, which eventually gets rained out. In the second, they turn on a music player and experiment with makeshift instruments such as keys that go "jingle jing." After Bing inadvertently smashes the music player, the friends resort to singing instead. Visually, these titles are invigorating. Bright colors, white backgrounds, and black text are combined for dynamic effect. The typeface changes in size, style, and boldness, and isn't always square on the page. Unfortunately, both story lines are marginal and use repetitive phrasing. The books end with similar phrases, "Go Picnic. It's a Bing Thing" and "Making music. It's a Bing Thing," causing readers to wonder what exactly a Bing Thing is. This gimmick seems more of a bid to attract a franchise than an integral part of the tales. Ultimately, these offerings are all about style with too little substance. - Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI
