Disney Pixar Coco Sticker Book & Essential Guide.
School holidays are here, and we always enjoy taking our kids along to see at least one movie at the cinemas. There are lots of great animated films out at the moment, including Coco. Have you seen it yet?
Coco is one of the latest Disney Pixar releases, and DK have released these two great books based on the movie.
The first is the Ultimate Sticker Book, which includes over 100 stickers, and includes captions that the reader can match the sticker to.
This is an 8 page book, so I'd recommend it as a handy book to give your child when travelling to keep them entertained for a short period of time.
The book is available now, and has an RRP of $9.99
The Essntial Guide is a hard-cover book with many colourful animated scenes and explains all of the characters from Coco including the Rivera family, Miguel, Abuelita, and Mama Coco.
A quiz is also included, as well as interesting facts and true or false statements.
This is a must have book for any Coco fan!
The book is available now through DK Books, and has an RRP of $16.99
