As before, they're rib-ticklingly funny books (we always have a good giggle at the character names and some of the page 'category' names too - though we're not too sure about the shopping book's "Does my bum look big in this?" page! Eeks!)

The sticker books are excellent quality and very reasonably priced, perfect for little animal lovers who are bound to find a dozen or so favourite characters in every single title in the range. It goes without saying that as soon as Charlotte sees bunnies or guinea pigs, she lets out a huge loud satisfied "awwww!"

One of the things we particularly liked about the range is - bar a few 'specialised' stickers, it really doesn't matter where children stick each sticker on each page, so they can go completely crazy with their creativity. Page titles and sticker sheets are clearly labelled, so there's the bonus of allowing early readers to figure out what goes where themselves. A sticker book that needs minimum parental supervision? Definitely a win!

You can obtain the Star Paws range from all good indie booksellers, or directly from the Pan Macmillan UK website.
