Remarkable Animals: 1000 Amazing Amalgamations (Otter Barry)

You know that book that lives on the coffee table and somehow, every time a child (or, let's be honest, an adult) sits down near it, it gets opened again? This is that book. Ten beautifully illustrated real animals, each split into head, body and tail, giving you a thousand wild and wonderful combinations to flip your way through. The names alone will have them in absolute stitches.

We love it because:

• It was created by Tony Meeuwissen, a legendary illustrator with an extraordinary eye for detail. The artwork is something genuinely special.
• Every flip creates a brand new creature with a brand new name. The combinations are endlessly surprising, which means it never gets old.
• It works on so many levels at once. Silly fun for younger children, creative inspiration for older ones, and genuinely beautiful to look at for grown-ups.
• It's the kind of book that invites everyone in. Grandparents, toddlers, reluctant readers. No one can resist a flip book.

What's in the box:

• One hardback flip book (24 pages, with each page divided into three sections)
• Full colour illustrations throughout

• Ages 3 and up (with younger children needing a hand with the flipping)
• Gifts for birthdays, Christmas, or honestly any occasion where you want to give something a little bit joyful
• Independent reading time, rainy afternoon entertainment, or a quiet moment that won't stay quiet for long
