Introducing Bizzy Bear from Nosy Crow, an imprint of Candlewick Press!
Introducing Bizzy Bear, the busiest bear on the block! With chunky sliders to push and pull, these robust little board books are perfect for active toddlers. Rich in visual detail and with touches of humor, they are set to become firm favorites in the family library. Bizzy Bear's off to lend a hand on the farm. Toddlers can help him count the ducks, feed the goats, and f ind the eggs before he waves bye-bye.
Benji Davies is the illustrator of the Bizzy Bear books, Bizzy Bear: Let’s Go and Play and Bizzy Bear: Fun on the Farm. As a child, Benji knew that when he grew up he either wanted to make films or draw pictures in books. He is still working out which he likes best, and currently divides his time between illustrating children’s books and directing animation.
He has worked on a huge range of subjects and platforms, with clients as diverse as such Waterstone’s, Sainsbury’s and Oxfam, and in countries as different as India and Australia. He’s illustrated for several major publishers and is pleased to be working on Nosy Crow’s start-up list.
The text of this book is very simple and not anything very special in my opinion. But the pictures are cute and my three year old absolutely loves the interactive features with something to pull, slide or turn to complete the picture on each page.
A mi pequeño de 10 meses le encanta. A veces se lo leo y otras simplemente jugamos con las solapas y le hago los sonidos de los animales. Le encanta. Los dibujos son monísimos.
Ιδανικό για παιδάκια από 10 μηνών έως 2 ετών. Έξυπνο διαδραστικό βιβλιαράκι με απλές εικόνες που όμως είναι ιδανικές για κάτω των 2 ετών. Χρήσιμο για τις πρώτες επαφές με διάφορα ζωάκια.
Bizzy Bear is ready for a day on the farm! He’s planning to visit the ducks, feed the sheep, collect the eggs and have a fun day around all of the animals that can be found in this exciting place. Follow along and move the pieces as Bizzy Bear spends his day having fun on the farm.
Before I knew these were interactive board books I fell in love with Bizzy Bear. Isn’t his little face simply adorable?! The illustrations for this series happen to be one of my absolute favorites and they’re so appealing to little kiddos. When the first two books arrived Littlebug was instantly in love with Bizzy Bear. She pulled and pushed and watched as he made his way around the farm and it’s inhabitants. It was wonderful to see her interact with the book almost before I had any opportunity to even do so myself and once we could sit down and read it together her face just lit up.
One of the most impressive aspects of the Bizzy Bear: Fun on the Farm board book is it’s actual sturdiness. That may seem odd, but if you’ve ever been around a destructive toddler the last thing you want to give them is an incentive to rip a book apart by providing things to pull on. Well, in the case of the Bizzy Bear board book series the quality is so impeccable that it’s extremely difficult for a toddler to rip it apart, not to mention they most likely won’t want to because they’ll enjoy it so much. That being said, they may still rip and pull but hopefully they’ll only manage to pull the ducks out, “one, two, three.”
Bizzy Bear: Fun on the Farm by Benji Davies is another delightful title from publisher Nosy Crow that will have toddlers giggling with joy and parents enamored with a very cuddly looking character. An interactive day on the farm with pull, push and turn tabs made in such a way that strong toddlers will have a difficult time pulling apart, makes this not only a visually appealing read but physically fun as well. Bizzy Bear is just the sort of character toddlers love to interact with and carry with them where ever they go. This is a fun day on the farm that won’t be soon forgotten and certainly one to be shared with the little ones in your life!
