A festive new title in this phenomenal board book series
Bizzy Bear and his friends get ready to enjoy the Chinese New Year celebrations in this novelty board book full of tabs to slide, push, and pull. Follow Bizzy Bear and enjoy a night of fun festivities!
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.
Little fingers will love moving parts of each page of this solid, inviting board book to reveal fireworks, New Year’s clothing, a feast, a shooting star, and a beautiful dragon. This is a super fun way to introduce the youngest children to Chinese New Year. The illustrations are colorful and appealing, with a tiger, bear and bunny friends joining in the festivities. Each page maneuvers a little differently, challenging little ones to figure out how to discover the hidden pictures. The sturdiness of the construction and thick pages ensure that this book can be enjoyed over and over. Recommended for ages 0-3 by the SEPA Book Reviewers
Stay-at-home little ones and those who attend multi-cultural toddler preschools and activities will learn from this cute board book about the Chinese New Year and it's different (to some) celebrations. What a great introduction into a different culture this would be. Lots of fun and so very cute. Love the rhymes, too.
