My daughter just loves these Usborne sticker books! I think they are great, too.Highlights:1. Not commercial or based on TV characters, which is kind of a relief.2. The people in the scenes are usually wearing very modest underwear and the child goes to the sticker pages and chooses clothing to put on the people. (Lots of accessories, too.)3. Sticker pages tell you what scene the clothing is meant to go on.4. Educational value. Yes! The ballet book features famous ballets, not random scenes. The Around the World book takes you to different countries and lets you dress people of various cultures in their traditional outfits. The historical fashion one features specific eras in different countries.5. Diversity. Although there's lots of Western culture (USA/Europe) in these books, there is also some diversity. Not all the people are white, yay, and the places you visit include many non-Western countries and cultures.
This is an excellent activity book for girls who love stickers and dress up dolls. Each page has people from different countries-- Korea, Tibet, Spain, Norway, Japan.. just to name a few. The stickers are a little on the thin side and tear easily. So, younger kids may need parents' help to peel off the stickers, but older kids should have no problem. I love the beautiful costumes and artwork of this book. It is also very fun for kids to see the different layers of clothing. For example, there were three of more layers kids have to dress the Japanese dolls in Kimonos. There is also a world map in the back showing where all these countries are. It is a great supplemental book for world geography study. My almost four year old daughter LOVES this book. We do a page together a day, and we talk about the specific country and culture, and I show it to her on the map. This is her first exposure to different countries in the world, and she is so fascinated! When we finished the book, she asked me to go look for another one!
This is a great sticker dressing book. Not only for the cultural diversity depicted, but also because it features males. Generally for each country depicted there are 2 female and 1 male character. Finally a sticker book boys can use, as well as girls. Go Usborne, may you produce many more books that boys can use as well as girls.
I bought this for my daughter who loves stickers and dress up. She loved hearing me tell her about the different countries and the outfits native to that region. I liked that they picked several countries that are off the "beaten path" like Peru, Tibet, Korea and Poland rather than the usual suspects. The artwork is beautiful and creative. The authors took great care to learn the names of the outfits and the cultural significance. I love that my child is getting a global perspective while having fun. This would also be an inexpensive and enjoyable gift for a female classmate.
Ever since I discovered these sticker books I buy them for every kid I know who is age appropriate (4 to 8 is what I'd suggest, but I'm in my 40's and love them!) They have an eduacation aspect to them and as one reviewer mentioned it's nice that they aren't based around television characters!!! The "costumes" are complex and there are a lot of different garment parts. They are colorful and tell a story. The little girl who introduced me to them loves her books even after all the stickers have been stuck to the pages. They are wonderful and worth every penny. I can't wait until my girl is old enough to play with them!!!
Wonderful, educational sticker set that really appeals to the preschool set!!! My niece's daughter and my granddaughter loved playing with it. What a great set for a long plane ride! It introduces children to people around the world. It will appeal most to little girls.
This is a great book for older kids, my 3 year old who loves sticker books and is rather advanced as a result in sticking them into the appropriate place finds this one a bit difficult. Some of the stickers tear as she pulls them out so they require the dexterity of an older child. Pictures are beautiful though.
I bought this for my friend's daughter. She just turned 4 so perhaps she was too young to appreciate the cultural/ ethnic/ geographical teachings and aspects to this... She just enjoyed dressing the people. I looked through it with her and I was very impressed. Will definitely be buying from this company in the future. The book was beautiful. Thank you for making this great product.
