This collection of charming animals provides a satisfying creative
experience. Twelve templates of abstract exotic animals-including a
giraffe, lion, flamingo, antelope, and meerkat-are paired with
hundreds of colorful stickers. Readers simply need to follow the
guide and create the images of the animals by applying the stickers
to the template. Because the drawings are abstract, there is no
"correct" place for each sticker-as long as the right colors are in
the right area, the animal will still emerge from the dots.
Additional pages of multicolored stickers give readers the
opportunity to get imaginative and create rainbow-colored animals.
This freedom to "color outside the lines" offers the chance of
creativity and fun. The "canvases" and sticker sheets are
detachable, which makes the process easier and allows the images to
be displayed afterwards. The perfect vehicle for unwinding and
letting those creative juices flow, this exceptional sticker book
will find a ready audience in adults as well as children.
