BOOKABOO KICKS OFF WORLD TOUR IN CANADA!

So finally, after begging blogs and puppy whining tweets of ‘More Bookaboo Please!’ we’re back in production!  Only this time, we’ve begun, what I hope is just the start of an amazing Bookaboo World Tour. 

First stop is Canada!   And then…..  I’ll be keeping you posted!

But for those in Australia (where it has just topped the ratings charts) and other countries shouting,

“But why not here?”

“Why not us?”

Well, quite honestly, because Canada or rather CBC…

Bookaboo is brilliant!

I just wanted to say that as an English Teacher I think Bookaboo is such a brilliant show! It's worrying how many kids start secondary school and still cannot read. As soon as school starts up again in September I'll really be encouraging my younger students to watch the show with their little brothers and sisters. Keep up the good work, and please please bring out a bookaboo toy and bag, as my 1 year old would love it! - as would I :)

Bookaboo animated story ap for iPad or Android touchpads?

Guys, I LOVE the animated elements the show has for the stories. As a dad who reads a lot of stories, though one yet unblessed by an iPad, I know friends of mine that are would love to be able to download the animated versions of the bookaboo presented books. Indeed the graphics people that make them could then apply their skills to all manner of books licenced through Bookaboo and I suspect would be a big revenue earner. I'm not sure what prog is used to create them but I suspect iPads…

FOR ONE OF THE MOST MOVING BOOKS ON BOOKABOO, A MOST SENSITIVE CELEBRITY GUEST

‘Mum and Dad Glue’ by Kes Gray and Lee Wildish has to be one of the most moving books I’ve looked at for Bookaboo. 

 

This evocative and sensitively told tale finds a little boy and his constant companion a small ginger cat, seeking to find a pot of parent glue to stick…

THROWIN' OUT THE RHYMES WITH LETHAL BIZZLE IN SUPPORT OF BOOKABOO'S 'SHARE A BOOK TODAY' CAMPAIGN

 I strive not to go for the obvious when it comes to choosing inspiring celebrity guests for Bookaboo.  It would be all too easy just to solely invite a steady stream of brilliant actors to use their very appropriate talent to share picture books with the world's most…

'THE SPIDER AND THE FLY', a cautionary tale. Should all picture books have happy endings?

  Emilia Fox shares 'The Spider and The Fly' with Bookaboo

 Most people, including me, only ever know the first line or perhaps the first verse of this 173 year old cautionary tale:

 

"Will you…

A bookahappy new year to all!

Sitting in the UK in-between an Australian New Year (already clocked, already there) and an English New Year ( still a few hours away yet) I couldn’t help reflecting over a what has been a tumultuous but exhilarating 2010, none of which would have been possible had it not been for a fantastic reaction from bookaboo’s audience.  So, feeling full of pre new new year…

Brilliant !!!

I am 52 years old and my girlfriend and I just love watching Bookaboo (I record it and we watch it at night). You have done a fantastic job and for a really worthwhile cause.



Bookaboo's behaviour, comments and reactions to the stories and his excellent drumming are the attraction for us adults (as well as the charming stories).



The puppeteering is superb, not only for Bookaboo's timely expressions but also for his accurate drumming.



The choice of celebrities is just… Continue

Scarlet loves bookaboo

Scarlet loved Bookaboo,especially the theme tune!
Thanks for choosing my story, 'Don't Wake the Bear, Hare!' for series 2
I thought Mylene did a great job although I was a little surprised to hear that Badger had a West Country accent! (He sounds rather posh when I read it!)
I'm thrilled to have played a very small part in such a brilliant programme. Thanks lucy!
