* The illustrations were very eye-catching and appealing. The story was a nice story, one that I think children would enjoy reading even if they have never experienced anything such as the story. * The positive characteristic of Bur Bur's Fishing Adventure was that it is a story you could read to your child that taught them about fishing in a fun way. * This book is a great informational book written in a fictional picture book format. The book is a great size and has vivid, colorful pictures that are inviting for young children. This is a unique product. We read a couple hundred library books each month and I have yet to run across a similar book that describes the informational process of fishing. -- iParenting Media Awards Reviewer Comments
"My daughter immediately grabbed your Bur Bur and Friends books, and would not put them down. My daughter is not an avid reader, so as a parent, it was great to see her enthralled in your books." -- Amy Bowllan, The School Library Journal
I Love These Books. I just love books. I don't get a lot of grown-up reading done, but when it comes to books my 2-year-old Will wants to read, I'm sitting there right beside him. A colleague passed on this really wonderful series of stories about a little boy who does fun outdoor stuff--Bur Bur Goes Boating, Throws Out the First Pitch and has a Fishing Adventure--and I've been reading them to Will ever since. The illustrations are super - simple and colorful and painterly and ... well, you'll have to get a book to see for yourself. And here's something else that's cool about the books: Bur Bur is a bi-racial little boy. Two moms of of bi-racial kids couldn't find books that showed children of various races playing together so they created them. "Our books are designed to inspire kids to get active and also to reflect the diverse world that they live in," says co-author JoAnne Pastel, the co-founder of Farmer's Hat Productions. This is only the start--there will be more books as well as toys, hats and t-shirts. -- Barrie Gillies, Senior Editor, Parents Magazine
