Perfect Books for Toddlers

After spending MONTHS trying to get my son interested in books, I finally stumbled on Ted Dewan's Bing Bunny series at our public library. They've been checked out repeatedly for 2 months now (by ME) because my son cannot get enough of BING BUNNY! The books are written in language that toddlers "get". There's a familiar start to every story, a problem to solve, and vibrant pictures to tell the story. WELL WORTH the hunt to find Bing Bunny books for your favorite toddler! Bing SWING speaks to most toddlers, who love to swing and don't really like to share or take turns.

Great Bing story -- good luck finding it

Some of the Bing series are tough to get in the U.S. -- unfortunately this is one of them. Like the rest of the Bing stories, this is a simple, sweet tale of toddleresque behavior -- Bing has a hard time sharing, feels angry, gets hurt, is comforted by a kiss from a friend. My 2 1/2 year old loves these books and they seem to really resonate with him.

Heartwarming and Alive!

I read this story to my 10 month old and he loves the sing-song manner of Bing swing push whee whoosh...it makes me want to go out and buy a swing for him and for me too. Lovely and alive! Bing gets naughty and doesn't want to give Flop a turn on the swing...later he gets hurt and Flops kisses it better...so sweet and realistic. My only wish is that it was a board book as i have to keep it at an arms length from my baby.
