From Me:
These stickers are so fun!! The book is set up like you are walking through a museum with ten different galleries. The animals in the pictures are posing like humans and have fun nicknames under each sticker/art piece. The gallery names themselves are humorous like "Unchecked Egos" and "Unnecessary Knitwear" to name a few. I had to share a page from the "Champions and Heros" gallery because it is perfect for Halloween. I love the various costumes and names for the animals. Which one is your favorite? I am deciding between King Charles and Stevil Knievel.
The stickers are a perfect size for dollhouse art as well as just fun. I actually showed the book today to a coworker (I'm subbing back at school this week.) and she wants to get one for her partner because it is so cute and fun. Can you imagine getting animals to actually wear the outfits and pose like some of them in the artwork?
There is a little something for everyone. There are funny pictures as well as more classic ones like the dog playing cards and smoking. There are some that include food and some that have multiple animals in them with cuddles or looks. The animals vary, but there are many dogs. There are also cats, a racoon, rabbits and more! This sticker book is fun for animal lovers as well as art lovers. It is also perfect for the miniaturist who might want to hang these pictures in a dollhouse or project! Remember with Halloween this weekend, it is time to think about holiday gifts!! Do you have someone on your list who would love this book?
