With colourful and quirky illustrations, 100 Things should keep young children occupied for a long time. How many brown mice can be found on the first double page spread? Can you find the ladybird who has followed the moles underground? Is there a rabbit hiding amongst the sheep? How many elephants are awake and how many are asleep? What other animals have infiltrated the pictures?
Altogether there are ten double page spreads, each dedicated to a different ‘thing’, plus another double page where the different creatures come together in a single landscape. Then right at the end of the book there is a list of fourteen specific things for children to go back and find - a mouse with a yellow ribbon, a girl putting a strawberry on her head, and so on.
Look out for other activity books created by Masayuki Sebe, too, including Dinosaurs Galore and 100 People (KBR review here). They would all be great to take on holiday and keep your family amused.
