Young children love to participate in a story, changing the storyline with the help of stickers and other aids, and, in this case, soft, thick magnets that stick to the pages.
In these books, children are given colourful scenarios on thick wipe-clean pages and they complete the pictures using picture magnets of animals. Then, they can create another scene and story using the magnets all over again.
Besides being intriguing for toddlers and preschoolers, these books are an opportunity for bonding time with parents, grandparents and child minders.
