Welcome to Robot City, a bustling mechanical metropolis where everyone runs on batteries and errands. Robots soar through the sky on booster jets, a rocket rises out of recycled scrap, and the city hums along waiting for a three year old to finish it: over 100 stickers, lots of them shiny, fill the scenes with citizens, sparks and machines.

The best page hands over the controls entirely, with a robot to build and customize from parts, which turns sticker placement into invention. Every spread gives plenty to talk about, so the book reads aloud as well as it sticks, and the peel and place motion is quietly building the fine motor control that early writing draws on.

A big bright paperback by Alice Beecham, illustrated by Valeria Danilova, made for keeping kids entertained on the move, on vacations and on road trips. Part of the Usborne First Sticker Books series; the pocket sized Little First Stickers line, also at Stellar Luxe, makes the perfect glovebox companion to it.
