Le Jardin du Moulin - Botanist Sticker Book

A colouring book and a nature guide and a sticker book all at once, which is rather good going for one thing. Through the pages you travel through all four seasons, discovering the fauna and flora of each one drawn in their natural habitat, with 148 stickers to place and pages that name everything so children gradually, gently start to recognise what they're looking at. The kind of book that gets picked up again and again over several months, a few pages at a time, and feels quietly educational without ever announcing that it is.

We love it because:

• 148 stickers across all four seasons makes this a genuinely substantial book that lasts well beyond a single afternoon
• The illustrations show fauna and flora in their natural habitats, with names included so children learn to recognise what they're seeing in the real world too
• Colouring and sticker placing together means there is always something to do on any given page, whatever the mood
• The kind of book that suits a quiet ten minutes just as well as a long absorbed afternoon
• Beautiful Moulin Roty illustration throughout, in the lovely botanical style of the "Le Jardin du Moulin" collection
• Pairs beautifully with the giant colouring posters and painting by numbers set if you know a child who loves this world
