Book Review: Features More Than 60 Reusable Full-Color Stickers
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the rousing movie Madagascar, the Ultimate Sticker Book features 6 pages of text and 4 pages of stickers. There are four sections which give a short synopsis of a part of the story, with small captions under shadowed outlines. Looking through the pages of stickers, the child can select the matching one and place it on the silhouette. The four sections are:
SHOWTIME!
The animals in New York's zoo have everything they need. Alex the lion dines on sizzling steaks and basks in the glory of being the zoo's star attraction. Gloria the hioppo soaks all day in her luxurious bath. Melman the hypochondriac giraffe is attended by a team of specialist doctors. But when the penguins put the ideas of going to "the wild" into Marty the zebra's head, everything changes for them all.
SHIP AHOY!
Once Marty has made his break for the wild, there's no turning back. The others catch up with him at the train station but the police capture them and ship them off to Africa. From inside their boxes on the boat, the animals wonder what lies ahead.
PARADISE
The long sea journey ends at the island of Madagascar. On first sight, it's a wild animal's paradise! The only problem is that thse animals aren't wild. Alex, the so-called "King of the Jungle", freaks out when a spider lands on him. However, the island's predators, the foosas, are terrified of this enormous lion. (NOTE: the book mis-spells foosas--the hyena-like creatures--calling them "fossas".)
GOODBYE!
The zoo animals are having a great adventure in beautiful Madagascar. Then, unexpectedly, the penguins reappear with the boat. Now that they have had a taste for adventure, where will the animals go next?
In addition to these fours sections which feature the silhouettes, there is also two blank pages to put stickers on wherever you like: a page of the beach, and one of the ship's deck.
If you're careful, the stickers are actually re-usable. My son filled all the pages, and *still* has 15 stickers left over! Any leftover stickers can be used for book covers, journals, scrapbooking, invitations, letters--wherever a child would like to use stickers.
The slick, colorful pages will be sure to delight children, especially as they try to find the stickers that match the silhouettes. My son still enjoys flipping through the book, even though he's matched all the stickers and used most of the rest for the beach and ship scenes.
