If you don't know this series of Bing books by Ted Dewan, Bing and Flop are characters that interact together like a toddler (Bing) and a parent(Flop).
They are bright and colorful as well as easy and fun to read.... over and over again. The Bing series are: Bedtime, Get Dressed, Go Picnic, Paint Day and my favorite, Make Music. It's a short story about Bing and Flop making music with instruments found at home...... a rice tub, spoon and pan, keys, paper towel tube, bell and radio. Of course Bing gets a little wild with his banging and accidentally breaks the cute little radio who wears a frown and cracked head. The two then mend him with scotch tape and everyone is happy and smiling again.
