Introducing Bur Bur & Friends!

Children's Gift Ideas No Comments »
I am so happy I discovered the Bur Bur & Friends series of books.  They are so much fun and really have a great message behind each of the books.  So far, there are 4 books in the series.  Each of the books involves a multicultural cast of characters to help teach children about our diverse population.  They also focus on getting kids out and doing something active, such as boating, fishing, hiking and playing baseball.  This series of books is very refreshing considering all of the hype surrounding movies and video games these days.  Our children need to learn more about staying active and getting outside to enjoy the outdoors.  These books do a great job of doing just that.  My two girls, ages 2 and 4, actually wanted me to read one right after the other when I received these books in the mail.  They are hard cover with great colorful illustrations.  The books are only $14.95 a piece which is great deal for the quality of book you are getting.  You can also get the adorable Bur Bur and Anna dolls and a fun little Bur Bur & Friends puzzle.       

The books have received the iParenting Media Award for their creativity, appeal to children and colorful illustrations.  The Bur Bur & Friends Boating ABC’s also won the 2008 Teacher’s Choice Award. 

The books are written by JoAnne Pastel and Kakie Fitzsimmons with Farmer’s Hat Productions, a Minneapolis based company.  Both of the authors are mother’s of bi-racial children.  They found that there wasn’t enough books out there depicting mulitcultural children, so they decided to create their own.

Check out Bur Bur & Friends Series of Books to read more about each of the books.  You can also purchase the books at that link.
