We first found the Bizzy Bear books when my son was 2 years old. We have been reading them to both children now for four years. We love these books! So much fun to get to move the slides or round and rounds in these books. These books really are perfect for little kids to get to interact with the books. My daughter brings these books in every night to read.We ordered this book for a baby just turning a year old. We wanted to share our love for Bizzy Bear with our friend. Now they can collect them all as well!
I have purchased a number of the Bizzy Bear board books and was happy to find this new one. As with the others, this one has a number of fun activities for my grandson to play with. The book is filled with knights and dragons - even jousting. At 18 months old, he is easily able to move the levers to make the fun activities happen. He especially likes the one that moves the sword up and down.The story is very simple and easy to read. When kids are interested in doing the activities, they really aren't listening all that hard. I read this one to him several times a day and neither he nor I have gotten tired of it. A little one can be a bit tough on these books - my grandson tries to "open" the pages where the movement actually is house. He has only destroyed one as I figured out how to reinforce the books so he can't pull them apart. I use a big of clear packing tape on the corners and edges of each page. Just enough to reinforce without hampering the flow of the activity. He hasn't damaged another since I starting using this method.
Bizzy Bear is our favorite. Hands down. The books are durable (trust me, my 17 year old is hard on them). They are fun with lots of moving parts and short, interesting stories that rhyme. We have stacks and stacks of books and without fail my toddler always grabs one of these when he sits down to "read." I'm pretty sure we will eventually own every title, because he gets a new one for every major holiday. We ordered "Zookeeper" and "Knight's Castle" to put in his Easter basket this year and he got "Fire and Rescue" and "Let's Get to Work" in his Christmas stocking a few months ago.You really can't go wrong with any of the Bizzy Bear titles.
**MOM REVIEW** We love Bizzy Bear books and own most of them. However, this one has some pages that the slide doesn't work correctly and my daughter can't even do them because they are so hard to get up or down. Still, a cute book.
We love these Bizzy Bear books. This one is probably the best. There's good variety in the actions and it's very sturdy. Good background pictures and the actions are intuitive for what's on the page. They're very engaging for a 2 year old but I'd definitely be interested in seeing some other Bizzy Bear type books/toys for when my daughter gets older and needs more engaging plot/dialogue.
The Bizzy Bear books are great! My twin 2 year old grandsons love them. They love all the parts they can manipulate. This is one of their favorites. My husband reads Bizzy Bear books to them over and over and doesn't get sick of them.
This engaging board book with its interactive parts that slide back and forth to reveal additional illustrations is an excellent addition to the Bizzy Bear series. The knight's castle theme will appeal to many children because of the vibrant use of colors and depictions of armor, shields, swords, and jousting. Look carefully for the "rings" on the pages which you will then use your fingers on to slide them back and forth...young children may miss them. For children two years of age and up, this is an interactive book that is not only fun but will introduce them to another world.
My daughter loves this book, but unfortunately we have already seen some problems with the interactive parts of this book. We love this book series, but we're a little sad to see that in this case we have had some problems.
