Star Paws, Animal Dress Up, Knights Sticker Book

5 out of 5*
'The time has come to dress up animals, so everyone get sticking!
Step into a world of brave knights, dramatic battles and smelly peasants! Design shields for pageants, apply pustules to the poor and enjoy dressing up dogs, cats, guinea pigs and rabbits in some truly amazing medieval outfits!'
When Macmillan contacted me regarding the Star Paws series and would I like to review them, I jumped at the chance. This is the type of books that my class would love and I wasn't wrong!
The contents page is in the layout of a code of honor for the children to sign, and also allows them to find certain pages. The animals in the book have really cute names relating to Sir's, peasants and other knight related titles.
Throughout the book there are instructions for which stickers should go where, you can even design your own shield! In the center of the book are hundreds of stickers, all stickers are in sections that do go together so it is easy for the child to create the picture, it also gives the name of the character that they are suitable for.
I would recommend this book for children of all ages, however I feel it would better suit the lower school so 4 - 7 years. The only thing I would have to say, and this is for all the books in this series is that, it would be nice for the stickers to be re-usable so the children had extra fun time.
I would like to thank Macmillan for sending me this book to review, my class and I really enjoyed it.

Enjoy the complete retail experience, animal dress-up style, in the fabulous STAR PAWS: SHOPPING! Choose hats in Bears Accessories, help out in the changing rooms, become a stylist, a beautician, or simply shop until you drop! There’s so much to try on and so much to buy – everything from smelly perfumes and crazy fingernails to nice new pants. Packed with over 250 stickers and more daft jokes than you can count, this brilliantly funny, silly and utterly addictive sticker book series is taking the world by storm! (NB: No animals were harmed during its creation.)
When I was contacted by Macmillan asking me if I would like to review a selection of their children's books, I jumped at the chance. These are just the type of books my class love! They are brand new into year 1 and they still like to have time 'choosing' this was a perfect activity for them.
To begin with, this book is lovely. We shared it as a class talking about the characters in the book. Which have very cute names, something else the children loved. The language in the book is very good for children to attempt to read by themselves and actually quite humorous.
In the center of the book there are many stickers, these fit certain pages and there are labels for the children to identify which character they should fit. Overall the children loved this book, they even then went on to draw the characters in clothes they created after.
The only thing I would say about it, is that once it has been used that's it. If there was a way to make the stickers re-usable the children would be able to have longer fun with the book as they could swap clothes on animals etc.
I would like to thank Macmillan for sending me the book, we enjoyed it a lot.
