I was SO excited to gift this to my daughter today. We have 2 other Bizzy Bear books (Let's Go and Play!, and Off We Go!) and the new dinosaur book sounded really fun. Unfortunately, I pre-ordered and when it arrived today it was defective. The spinning wheel on page 4 WILL NOT MOVE. I poked and pulled and pushed, but it's either not cut properly or glued in wrong or something, but it absolutely will not spin. So I'm returning it. I decided not to get a replacement because aside from it being defective, the illustrations are FAR too busy. The age recommendation on the back is "0-3". This is NOT appropriate for a child under 2. The colors are bright-ish, but there's too much overlapping foliage and details, so everything gets a bit lost and muddled. I much prefer the other Bizzy Bear books where the objects are clear and easy to identify, which holds the focus of a young child. Also, although the content is understandably limited by the classic Bizzy Bear rhyme scheme, the text fails to say anything interesting about dinosaurs! Instead, as Bizzy Bear goes on his Jurassic Park jeep ride the rhymes are mostly related to the tour, beginning with "dino day/come this way" and ending with "tour's complete/time to eat" - and an anthropomorphic T-Rex waiter serving cocktails (see photo). Overall, I'm really annoyed and disappointed with this book.
Bizzy Bear "Dinosaur Safari" is actually a lot more like a theme park ride through Jurassic World. I'm okay with that as the target group for this book is toddlers. It has all of the fun Bizzy Bear activities that my grandson enjoys. There is the pull/push from the side, the slides up and down, and his very favorite, the spinner. My grandson's favorite page is the one in which the dinosaur "breaks through" his egg. The final scene shows a dinosaur serving cocktail looking drinks - it would have been a little more appropriate to have him serving milk and juice.Another reviewer has problems with the slides working, etc. I don't have that problem with my copy but I have had it with other Bizzy Bear books in the past. When the activities work, they work well. When they don't, it usually takes an adult to make it work. I find that this is almost always associated with one of the "sliding" activities.This is a set of books that my grandson loves but he is a little hard on them. He has torn two of them in his attempts to "turn" the page. The pages are so thick, he thinks there are more of them and he rips them apart. I've found that re-enforcing the pages with clear packing tape on the edge keeps him from destroying them. I was able to fix both of the books he tore but I wish it wasn't a continuing problem.
We love the Bizzy Bear books. I prefer the ones with the larger pictures such as Bizzy Bear fun on the Farm, but my son enjoyed reading this one nevertheless. Great books for children four and under. I would not recommend this book for the older crowd, unless using it as an early reading tool.
My 1 year old sone and 3 year old daughter LOVE all the Bizzy Bear books! Perfect for keeping toddlers engaged and creating a love for reading. The first one came ripped, but replaced it quickly and easily!
This latest edition falls short of the high bar set by predecessors such as zoo keeper, fun on the farm, fire adventure and construction worker. The dinosaur depictions show no scale at all. Dinosaurs are supposed to be BIG.
My daughter loves this book, plus all of the interactive things that they have are easy for her to manipulate and have held up extremely well over many, many, many readings!
