I've purchased several of these sticker books in various themes to keep my kids quiet and entertained during church. They work like a charm. I'm impressed with the variety and quality of the stickers, as well as the quality of the book. My kids - ages 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 - love finding where some stickers go and putting the rest on the "scenic" pages provided in the back of the book. I like these stickers especially because they're not reusable, so once they're on the page I don't have to worry about them falling out or being re-stuck somewhere else. I love these sticker books - would recommend to anyone.
I teach high school biology, and if there's one thing I know, high school kids STILL love stickers. The weirder the better. They probably won't get super psyched by a "Good job" star, but put an odd animal on their paper and it makes them happy. I like that these tell me what the animal is (some are obvious but there are others that I've never heard of or at least wouldn't have known for sure). I put these on "A" grade quizzes, and write what it is next to it on their paper. The kids get a kick out of seeing the odd little animals on their paper-- they get a sticker AND it means they got an A.
I gave this book to younger cousins in the 5-7 year old range and they seemed to like it. Not sure how long it kept their interest or how well the stickers stick but I was impressed when I received it. There are a good number of stickers, they look great, and there's a page of cute tiny stickers. The book has little blurbs about different animals and a place to put the larger stickers and I think it would hold the attention of any child who likes animals. I recently bought another copy to give away to a younger child.
The Sticker Encyclopedia: Animals from DK Publishing divides 38 animal types into 6 major groupings: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. Each animal type is given its own page with 4-5 specific species listed and described with a blank spot for the appropriate sticker. Primates, for example, are given South African galago, squirrel monkey, western gorilla, and ring-tailed lemur. Animals are briefly described and children find the correct stickers in the back of the book to complete each 'encyclopedia' page.The encyclopedia portion of the book is 49 pages in length. 11 pages are biome centred pages where children can place animal stickers in the appropriate habitat. The remainder of the book includes the stickers for your child to remove and place. Over 600 stickers are included, larger ones for completion the encyclopedia (these are labelled for accurate placement of unfamiliar animals), habitat pages, and many smaller extra stickers that your child can use freely.My oldest daughter filled out all of the pages on the sticker book, but rarely looked at it after completion. For her, the joy was in the doing. Reading the information, searching for the correct stickers and placing them in their homes. In fact, the many extra stickers weren't used for much here.The book, while being a softcover, is quite sturdy. It has thick, semi-glossy pages, large, bright stickers, and interesting - if introductory - explanations and trivia.With only a paragraph dedicated to each animal, this Sticker Encyclopedia doesn't provide a great deal of depth. It's fun, hands-on format does provide a fun introduction to many animals, their general classification, and appearances. It makes for a fun supplementary resource, travel book, or summer project for the animal loving child in 2nd grade.I received a review copy of this title. All thoughts are my own.
My child is a huge fan of sticker books and loves all the colorful stickers that come with this book! It also includes lots of detailed information about many different animals, which makes it not only tons of fun but very educational as well!
My son loves these books and matching the pictures up. It's a fun quiet time activity that we do together. The best part is that the stickers are repositionable so he can put them on however he likes and he can fix it if he doesn't like it.
I love this series of sticker books by DK. This is the second I've bought (we also have the vehicles one). My daughter is 2 1/2 and this book occupied her for both legs of a 10-hour drive across the country-- there are SO many stickers and things to look at! I recommend this product for any parents of preschoolers.
This is an EXCELLENT book for a toddler. Granted, you must be prepared for sticker "sprawl" througout your house. But the stickers don't seem to do any damage, at least not to our stuff. The book is filled with stickers and animal facts. It has scenes you can place the stickers. It's excellent for travel or just to occupy a little one for a while. These books have been a hit for a over a year now with my 4 year old. We love it, we have bought others like it, and we will buy more.
