Perfect stocking stuffer or party bag giftSent to our Grandson out of state for Easter. He absolutely loved them. They are on small size and was perfect for travel in car. Plenty of stickers and he still playing with them. We ordered two varieties.Very fast book. Didn’t take my child long to finish.Good for kids to play with, some just stickers, a project to make a card do send to granny, or aunt. Others are for kids to use stickers to make an imaginary ice cream sundae, or a trip to beach.Excellent value, and can keep young children entertained for a few minutes.Now these books are small--but that's kind of the point of these book, I think. They're portable, easy to throw in a briefcase or purse or back of the car, and handy to give to children at the doctor's office waiting room, or in an airport, or on a car trip, or at a restaurant waiting for food, or really, just anywhere where you want to have a short educational (or semi-educational) activity.And I gotta admit, I like that this is an "un-plugged" option. Not on a phone or tablet or screen--just a good old-fashioned book with simple activities, vivid illustrations, and things to *do*--that is, an active, tactile experience--even if the activities are quite simple (like peeling stickers).We don't leave home without a few of these. (Just be prepared, if you haven't ordered these before, for a small booklet, not a *book* book.)Nice & colorful...but doesn't RE-STICK well at all.Would be better if they were magnetic.Only really good for ONE use.I bought 5 of these thinking they were full-sized books (as in more than one page). Each is basically a laminated sheet that has been folded in half and the stickers are represented as "pages," but they are obviously only stickers and there are no pages. The colors are bright and attractive. My reason for giving 2 stars is for the lack of clear descriptions. It should not be called a book because it is not a book. Once you remove the sticker pages to reveal the area that you'd put the stickers on, you will see a scene that is related to the cover. Open flat, and this is your work space. The description should be clear as to what this is. And everything that is not full-size should say so. Very disappointing.Super small but cuteI have ordered several Dover Books for Christmas activity gift packages. All of my many orders went through successfully without, I might add, any added-on shipping and handling charges. I made an error on September 2, 2020 and ordered one book called 'Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundae'. I noticed right afterwards that I had made an error. The book itself cost $1.03 with added shipping charges of $6.49 (total $7.52). I proceeded to cancel this order right away and, on Sept.04, I received confirmation from SuperBookDeals that my order was indeed cancelled. However, SuperBookDeals, in its sneaky wisdom, decided to process this order anyway and I received the book a couple of days ago. They are refusing to honour their commitment of cancellation and have told me that the only way I can get a refund is to ship the package back to the other side of the country, at my expense, and that the book has to arrive in perfect condition. It would cost me more than $7.52 in postage to do this, so that's just plain ridiculous. These folks deserve zero stars but, unfortunately, one star is a required minimum. I will NEVER order anything from this company again!!!!!Cute
