Cosmo

Cosmo's in the car with what looks to be "BING SWING". Between the ride and the story, it's something of a miracle that he's not getting motion sickness. Cosmo is the nephew of Ben Lund, an old school chum of mine who got in touch some years ago and infected nearby children with the Bing bug. I hope he's not got himself into big trouble for that.

Cyan from Pennsylvania

Cyan's family dog is also named "Bing", whose behaviour is reportedly not too dissimilar to the bunny toddler. This led to the creation of yet another 'folk' Bing doll. Cyan's dad, Pete, said that the other dolls on this blog helped them get their head around the pattern for this one. Another possible future acquisition for the Bing Museum if Cyan ever leaves it behind when going off to college.

Oh, and here's the other Bing in the house:

Anthony

Inspired by "BING MAKE MUSIC", Anthony tries out his own "woona" (see the book for an explanation).

Toby

What amazes me is how many kids like to sleep with Bing books, even though they're not exactly cuddly. This phenomenon will certainly be taken into account when Bing goes back into print one day. "Awhile back I sent you a picture of my daughter, AudryElla, with what looked like a halo over her head, holding her homemade Bing and Flop. Here is my son, Toby, sleeping with his favorite book."

Elena's Second Bing Birthday

Amy from Massachusetts created this terrific cake for daughter Elena's second birthday Husband Josh writes, "We have loved Bing through all our three daughters, at bedtimes in Massachusetts, England, and Portugal. My wife Amy just whipped up a Bing cake for Elena's second birthday. We had big plans for making Flop dolls, etc but really all we had time for was the cake. It's a carrot cake, natch. Elena wanted to "SEE BING BUNNY" on the cake for the entire car ride."
