My grandson is 18 months old and loves to read his Bizzy Bear books. We have a number of others and were happy to see the new Zookeeper book when it became available. The books are fairly durable and I have only lost one to his over enthusiastic attempt to turn pages (where there was no page to turn.) I solved this issue for the replacement book and for all of my other Bizzy Bear books by using clear packing tape on the edges of the corners. That way, he can't use his fingers to pry the pages open and yet the moving parts of the page are still able to work.This book is extremely cute - his favorite parts are where the alligator opens and closes it sharp teeth and where the fish and the penguins swim around (by way of a turning wheel on the edge of the page.)
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.
We LOVE Bizzy Bear! The books are so much fun and this one is no exception. They are the perfect size for little hands, but big enough to be able to see and enjoy the illustrations. The books are bright and colorful. The stories are fun. And the interactive parts are even better. I'm picky about books, but these make my top list. You can open and snap shut an alligator mouth and move a giraffe's head. You can move different animals and have fun interacting with them along with Bizzy. The one problem with this book is that the wheel you are supposed to turn is too far in the book. So the pegs that are there to help you then the wheel are really hard to reach, especially for little fingers. My kids have almost broken the book trying to get it to work and I am frustrated by it. Maybe I should have returned it, but he kids would have been really mad that I "took the book away" and I'm not sure the next book would have been different.
I bought this book for an airplane ride across the country with my one year old daughter. She LOVED it! Having never read or owned one of these books before I was hopeful when I read about the various features of it. It is everything it claims! My daughter will now bring me this book from her bedroom to read to her. In the week and a half since introducing this book to her she can now operate almost every page on her own. There is only one which is a little difficult for her but she almost has it down. Overall, I plan on buying many more of these books! This is definitely one of the best books I have bought for my daughter yet. I love it!
This is the fiirst bizzy bear book for my 10 month old and it was a huge hit. We have since bought a couple others. This one still seems to be her favorite though. Her favorite part is the alligator page. The book is very well made and sturdy for little distructible hands.
Bizzy Bear books are currently my toddler's favorite (he's 20 months old). Each page has something fun for him to do (push-pull-slide) and it's easy enough for him to do it himself, where other books have caused him much frustration when he tries to pull a tab that is too difficult for a little one to do without assistance. The books are also super sturdy and I know they will last a long time. The simple, rhyming text is perfect for his age and attention span. My son loves to read Bizzy Bear over and over!
The story and grafics are great. My one year old grandson love them but the "little" animals or objects that were stuck. We had to use a letter opener to loosen up the "pop-up" so we could push it up.We had the same problem on the Bizzy Bear Let's Go and Play book and the Bizzy Bear Fire Rescue Book and Bizzy Bear Pirate Adventure.
How cute are these books? My son is 11 months old and these are his FAVORITE books. (Of course they end up being chewed on from time to time, but they are pretty durable)This particular book is great! I love it and so does my son!
