Me encantan las carreras, así que este libro también.

[M. Morales · Rating 5 out of 5]

Increíble, lo habré leído ya como unas cinco millones de veces. La única pega es que, aunque mi hijo crea que no, la carrera está amañada desde el principio.

I love the series. The Bulgarian edition does not rhyme, but it is still really nice for my toddler.

[Fausto Bailach · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alucinante. Me encantan las carreras de coches y cada página es el fiel reflejo de lo emocionante que pueden ser.

Bizzy Bear: Race Car Driver by Benji Davies is a new addition to the Bizzy Bear board books. Simple rhyming text "Bizzy Bear, Bizzzy Bear, sit down low. Bizzy Bear, Bizzy Bear, get set, GO!" blends perfectly with the six sliders and tabs to push and pull as Bizzy makes his way to the finish line. The young listener can change traffic lights from red to green, drive cars forward, make race cars zoom in double loops that provide perspective- the larger cars closest to the reader are in a larger outside loop, while the same cars in the distance zoom around an inner smaller loop. The race ends when the flag signals the winner of the race. All the characters are animals and the pages are filled with bold colors and lots of action from the team members monitoring the vehicle on computer, adjusting the tires, and putting on Bizzy's helmet. The tabs and pulls are sturdy and will hold up to repeated uses. Strongly recommended.
