The book itself is filled with beautiful artwork from a range of Marvel comics including The Avengers, Black Panther, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, and loads more. The text gives behind the scenes information about the artwork and history of the characters, as well as Marvel as a company.

I think this would make a perfect gift for the comic book fan in your life!
Thanks so much to Scholastic for sending this one our way - comics are big in our house so this one was a huge hit!

You can see the letters better on the frog here and the flamingo too. We have had so much fun trying to find all the letters in the pictures. We own Animology and Letters from Australia (both pictured in this post, and both kindly sent to us by the team at Walker Books), as well as having bought a couple ourselves - Letters from Melbourne and I am hoping Letters from New York will arrive in time for Christmas.

 Letters from Australia includes not just animals, but also famous landmarks and people  from around the country, like this Melbourne tram. I also love the rhyming text, and the way that the word is in the same font as in the picture.

Obviously we adore these books, and I can't thank Walker Books enough for sending those first two our way! Like I said above, we've bought Animology to give to A's teacher - we took it to school one day and it was a big hit. I give them a huge thumbs up and totally recommend putting them on your shopping list if you are still present shopping!

If you thought unicorns were strictly imaginary, think again.
Anatomy, evolution, life cycle, magical properties: prepare to learn just how much you didn't know you didn't know about unicorns. Dive into the life's work of famed unicornologist Professor Temisa Seraphini with this beautiful, fully-illustrated encyclopedic volume of unicorn knowledge. Meet species from the fjords of the north to the unforgiving deserts of the equator as you discover the wonders of this enchanting creature from past to present.

This books is so divine. The hard cover has silver detailing, which makes it feel extra special before you even open it, and the illustrations are so beautiful - just look at those beautiful endpapers!

Inside, Dr Temisa Seraphini shares everything you ever wanted to know about unicorns, from the evolution of the six different species of unicorn through information about their anatomy and magic, unicorns in history, and how to track and communicate with unicorns. Like I mentioned above, the illustrations are are really lovely and every page is a delight.


I really think this one is a perfect book to give as a present to the unicorn lover in your life. The gorgeous presentation makes it extra special, and I think the way the information is presented would make it perfect for reading out loud together.
Huge thanks to the team at Walker Books for sending this one our way!
