Ah the Summer brain drain...
A solution can be at hand!
You know Parragon as the source of great cooking and crafting books, 
from 'across the pond', and now they have a kids line too!
We were sent 2 books to check out:


Stickersaurus by Nikalas Catlow and Tim Wesson (Author)

Stickers at the ready! The evil T-Rex is on the rampage and the Dino Supersaurs need to stop him in his tracks. Comes with super-stretchy dinosaur character ready for combat!

This dino book opens out into 7 giant story scenes, showing the streets, cityscape and skies of New Dino City. With over 50 reusable stickers, children can read the story panels and create their own action-packed scenes.

The book is perfect for vacation travel activity in the car, as kids can move the stickers around to their liking to create a story that their stretchy dino can then act out. Boys and girls will be delighted with 'stretchy' as Miss Grace calls him! Plus they can use the storyboards they make with other dinos and animals they have, to extend the fun of the book. the reading level is also 1st-2nd grade. Miss Grace highly recommends it for Summer fun, and for birthday present giving too!
