Customer reviews:

“My 4 year old loved this book as a toddler and my 2 year old loves this book too. Bing is so funny and if you read it the way it’s written, it’s hilarious to kids!”

“Any toddler will love these books. My thirteen month old adores them, and brings them to me so that we can read them together. Colourful, funny…an absolute must for any baby!!”

“Initially I found Bing Bunny a little bizarre – but then I am an adult and not in the core target group…..my 2 year old absolutely adores it and has opened my eyes to Bing's charms.”

“My 28-month-old son LOVES Bing Bunny and Flop more than any other book character!!!!! Sometimes I have to read these books over and over in one setting. They have really nurtured my son's love of books. Thank-you Ted Dewan!”

“ I have been a professional child-carer for 20 years. The Ted Dewan Bing Bunny books have been a firm favourite with my under 3s. Some of their first words come from the stories.”
