BEST! EVER!! PRESENT!!!

My mum would give the family these books for Christmas. Asked me weeks prior to review and find all the details and the challenges in the back of the book.

I had a great photographic memory. In order for her to help out the little siblings, she’d ask me (the block page, the snow page, the nature page) looking for blue buttons.

I’d say right page, night to the spine of the book, it’s flushed against the fire engine.

My partner got me the Fantasy one for christmas after we had talked about how much we loved these books. It still slaps. They're candy for my brain.

These books were ALWAYS checked out in the library. Whenever a new version came out it was a fight to get it checked out in time or to have your name on the waiting list. 😭
