Nayu's thoughts
I was super excited to get stuck into this aquatic
sticker book because I've done many in the past and thoroughly
enjoyed putting the individual stickers in the right place.
Unfortunately I was quite disappointed-the sticker shapes you see on
the cover arent individual stickers, but big stickers totalling 6-12
depending on the animal. I hadn't read the summary properly when I requested it - I saw the word stickers and said yes. The cover does seem to indicate it could be tiny stickers. This definitely wouldn;t take hours to
complete, not even for a child.

However, it keeps the high rating
because the instructions on how to do the stickers are clear and easy
to follow, plus there is a load of information on the opposite side of
the creature, with a few facts I didn't know. My favourites were the
starfish because it is not as innocent as it looks and the dolphin
because it's a dolphin! When I was little I didn't realise they had
teeth (the dolphin - somehow I knew the starfish ate things).
