Bing: Something For Daddy

0.0

Bing Bunny is a loveable, feisty new pre-school character, created by Kate Greenaway-shortlisted illustrator Ted Dewan. Bing takes on pre-school challenges such as getting dressed, eating your breakfast and going to the park in his own inimitable style. He is a modern pre-schooler and, in Ted Dewan's exciting new artwork style, has a freshness and friendliness that is both appealing and different from anything else on the market. Bing Bunny: Something for Daddy sees Bing making a picture with lots of sticky goo, colours, sparkly things and paper. Just when things look like they're finally going OK, Bing stops for a snack and puts down his lovely present for a moment. But where is it? What's happened to it? Uh-oh. Making Something for Daddy - it's a Bing thing!

Award News: CRISPIN, THE PIG WHO HAD IT ALL has been shortlisted for The Kate Greenaway Medal – one of the most prestigious awards for children’s illustration. The judging panel have this to say about the book: “The bold, exuberant illustrations catch the reader’s eye first, and then closer examination shows just how every page is crammed with extraordinary detail. Dewan’s clever use of layout, colour and perspective emphasise the different moods of the story creating a sense of space, action or surprise. This story contrasts the emptiness of materialism with the warmth of friendship as it follows Crispin’s heartwarming journey to understanding.”
