Animals of the Forest by Oliva Cosneau – GIFT

Animals of the Forest (My Nature Sticker Activity Book) by Oliva Cosneau. ACTIVITY BOOK. Princeton Architectural Press, 2019. $8.  9781616897857

BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3), GIFT – OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

This is an activity book which takes a young reader through the Forest habitat. This one is very much more focused on plants than the Savanna book from this series. Each page has a coloring activity and a sticker activity (it comes with quite a few stickers). An example would be: Chestnuts are good to eat! What about Mushrooms. There is a fact box and the tasks to put chestnuts stickers on page and color the mushrooms. The illustrations are quite large and simple.

This activity book would not work for a library but it would be a fun activity if a teacher could afford a copy for every student in their classroom. It would also make a fun gift for a child who loves nature and can sit still for some busy work (like on a plane).  I don’t think this one was appealing for a young reader as the Savanna book, due to the focus being on plants not animals. I think a balance between plants and animals would have improved the appeal.
