Having Fun with Sticker & Activity Books from Little Tiger Press

C has always been a fan of books. He loves being read to and loves to learn. As he has gotten older, he likes to challenge himself by doing activity books and his ultimate favourite is sticking stickers. We were lucky enough to receive two fabulous books from Little Tiger Press that I knew C would love. 

Firstly, the 'My Little World' series by Jonathan Litton and illustrated by Fhiona Galloway has two new additions; 'I Spy Learn and Go' and 'I Spy on the Farm'. C received Learn and Go. He also received Little Snappers Dinosaurs Funtime Sticker Activity Book.

C was very excited about the dinosaur book firstly. He is a typical boy and loves all things dino related. Sticking stickers is one of his favourite things to do so when you combine those two together, he is one happy boy. 

The first half of the book has the sticker scenes. Each page has a scene and is titled then when you go to the middle of the book you can find all the stickers for each page under the title. I love this as you do have free rein to stick your stickers anywhere but you have a little guidance as to which stickers go on each page. There are also little questions such as 'Can you find xyz?' in the scene. 




The second half of the book has activities such as dot-to-dot, colouring, find the odd one out and lots of fun things to get your child excited and interested in. The answers are at the back of the book to check how your little ones get on with the task. 


C really enjoyed this book and because it has so much packed into it, he has used it multiple times of the past few weeks and it's been great for keeping him occupied. 

The I Spy On The Go book is a similar book to the dino one. The pages are laminated in this one so you can stick, unstick then stick again until your hearts content. 

You can visit four different scenes and at each one you are asked to spot different objects, use your stickers to put the missing objects in place and you can also trace words and dress up characters. The answers to each page can be found at the back too. Erasable markets can be used with this book. 




This book really got C's brain working and because there is such much going on in each scene, he loved pointing everything out and telling me what they were. 


Both of these books are available from Little Tiger Press both retailing at £5.99 each. 

You can find out more at the Little Tiger Press website and you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter

Usborne Slide & See Book

C, my eldest, has always been into books and I'm hoping that E follows in his footsteps. Myself and their daddy loves to read as children (and we still do!) so it's important to us to always read with the kids.

E received a wonderful little Usborne Slide & See Under the Sea book to try out. 


I think that this is a really great first book for little ones. It is a board book so you don't have to worry about little hands ripping the pages and destroying it. There are only five pages so little ones aren't likely to get bored and their attention will fully be on the book.


Each page shows animals that live in or around the sea and they have sliding panels so you can make the animals hide or move. I didn't think E would really know what to do but, to my surprise, when I showed her she tried to move them herself! This is great for developing your child's motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination. The bright pages really capture her attention too. Her big brother also loves it. He likes to move the panels but it's also great for teaching him the animals too.



This book retails at £7.99 and you can purchase it directly from the Usborne website.

You can keep up to date with Usborne on Facebook and Twitter too!
