Summary: It's a sticker book
Comment: I've said it before in other reviews of sticker books. If a 3 or 4 year old enjoys it, just pick a subject that interests them and I'm sure they will enjoy it. This had a lot of bare planetary landscapes and views of space. There was no story to follow.
Rating: 4
Summary: Stickers not really reusable but otherwise excellent
Comment: This book is a space travel themed book which is one of many in a series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.
There are seven 2-page spreads, which consist of background for placing the stickers. Each spread has a few sentences to tell a story or guide the sticker placement. The backgrounds are creative and well done. There are backgrounds of space scenes with plants in the background, the surface of Mars, the surface of the Moon, the outside of a space station, and the launch pad area of American space stations. Stickers depict older rockets, modern space shuttles, astronauts, satellites, and various space vehicles.
The stickers are billed as "reusable". The stickers stick very well the first time around. A bonus "pro" is since they are "reusable" stickers, if they are accidentally stuck onto floors, walls, or furniture they remove easily and effortlessly. The "con" is that (after using 5 different books in this series and having this consistent in every book) I must say that once a sticker is peeled and placed in a different spot, it does not lie flat. The sticker curls at the edges and is a mess. This has frustrated and annoyed both of my children and I don't like activities that are supposed to be fun to end up causing tantrums and frustration--especially when it is caused by "false claims" by the publisher of the stickers being reusable! Also in the sticker removing process, they tend to tear, especially if the shape of the sticker has protruding parts or small pieces sticking out (vs. a simple shape of a planet or a long rocket shape which usually come off in one piece). The tearing occurs when I peel them as well as my young children. This tearing has resulted in tears and disaster-"my favorite space shuttle ripped---AAGHHH!"
The graphics themselves are high quality and I am happy with the book graphics and the sticker graphics. In case you are wondering about astronaut gender or race, all but two astronauts are wearing helmets so we can't see their race or gender. There are two with visible heads and they are clearly male, one Caucasian and one dark-skinned.
There are 75 stickers. If one were to buy 75 single use stickers of a theme without a book, the price would be higher than the price of this book with the stickers. I like the book and the stickers except for them being billed as "reusable" when they really are not. I'll rate it 4 stars since I really like the product but wish the stickers were more reusable than they are. The low price also is appreciated.
I did come up with an idea that once the stickers are shot, to discard them and you would end up with a blank book. You can then present this to your child and have them draw in the book with rockets or whatever they choose.
