Over 100 dogs and puppies, and the scenes they belong in. Walkies in the park. A morning at the groomers. The waiting room at the vets. Every spread is somewhere a child has actually been or wants to go, so placing the stickers turns into telling a story about them rather than filling in blanks.

The book is deliberately small, sized to drop into a bag, which is the whole design brief for the Little First Stickers series. It comes out at the restaurant, in the waiting room, on the train, and it holds attention through exactly the stretches where nothing else does.

The text is short and made to be read aloud while the sticking happens, which quietly builds vocabulary in the middle of an activity nobody has told the child is educational. For a dog obsessed three year old, this is the seven dollar item that gets asked for by name.

Also on the shelf here: Little First Stickers Dinosaurs, with over 200 dinosaur stickers and jungle, river and sea scenes to fill.

The rest of the Little First Stickers series is here too: Diggers and Cranes, Baby Animals, Butterflies, Zoo, In the Forest, Cats and Kittens, Easter Bunnies, and Love and Kindness.
