Over a hundred and fifty pet stickers, and the reason a child stays with this one is that every picture asks for something specific. Add two more soggy dogs splashing in the fountain. Find a pair of bowing dogs, because when dogs bow to each other it means they want to play. Find six little hamsters for a hamster mother to look after, and one peeping out of the tube. Stick some guinea pigs nibbling the dandelion leaves and flowers they like to eat.

Playtime is a dog park running from a tiny Chihuahua to a giant Saint Bernard. Furry friends and Guinea pigs share a spread of cages, a tube run and an outdoor pen. Cool cats is set in an animal shelter playroom, where cats stretch on the scratching post, doze in hanging beds and pad along a high walkway, and the page explains that scratching keeps a cat’s claws healthy and that some pets live at a shelter until a family adopts them.

That mix is what you are buying: real animal facts and a lot of new words arriving while a three year old peels and places, which is genuine fine motor practice and a long quiet stretch with no screen in it. The larger First Sticker Book trim, about 8.5 by 10.8 inches, gives the scenes room.
