An irresistible treat for young bookworms and bibliophiles everywhere! Bursting with dozens of crafts, games, stickers, and other goodies, this is the perfect birthday gift, travel companion, and boredom buster for kids who have already read every book on their shelf (twice!) and still hunger for more.

Interactive and Exciting: Readers will love engaging with the interactive format of this hands-on activity book, which features games, paper crafts, drawing activities, and journal prompts in Mount's signature hand-lettering. Her recognisable and vibrant art style achieves a new level of playfulness that will hold endless appeal for readers of any age.

Stickers & Punch-Out Pages! In addition to the many writing and drawing activities, readers can punch out and assemble cardstock glasses, bookmarks, and even their very own bookstore and bookmobile! Then, readers can use the sticker sheets for endless sticker fun.

Promoting Literacy: This activity book encourages kids to read and write, to share books, and to talk about them. The hands-on activities encourage a spirit of curiosity and imagination, helping kids form meaningful and lasting connections with their favourite books and perhaps with other readers!
