Babyliography LIX

Unknown, Peppa Pig: Peppa's Magical Friends Sticker Activity Book

2020 / Sticker activity book / 16 pages / UK

**

Healthy treats that keep her entertained. Includes a rubbish sticker jigsaw, an insultingly easy search-and-find and the worst board game ever.


Unknown, Jewel Dolly Dressing: Mermaids

2022 / Sticker activity book / 24 pages / UK 

**

Teddies, princesses and unicorns were more or less assigned to her, but she's decided she loves mermaids independently. The sticky jewels aren't as bad as glitter, but we're still going to be finding them for years.


Andrew Davenport, Moon and Me: Tea Time!

2019 / Library book / 24 pages / UK

*

Some TV tie-ins are capable of standing on their own when you don't have the context (we started blind on Peppa Pig), but what the hell is this?


Louise Forshaw, Busy Ambulance

2021 / Library book / 10 pages / UK

**

Using people rather than animals makes its simple scenario more relatable, but the levers are little use and it badly needs a siren sound.


Tony Ross, I Want a Friend

2005 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

She started with the books, but by this point they're another friendly cartoon tie-in. This later one is self-conscious TV churn, the princess' personality all but eroded by the sappy moral.
