I love the idea of a book advent, but always leave it too late to start one! I think next year I'm going to buy 2 per month so by November I've only got 4 to go!

So if you are more organised than me and only have a few books left to purchase, than I have the ideal four from Button Books Publishes to finish off anyone's book advent.

These books are so beautiful and well illustrated, I don't think my pictures have done them justice, so I've also vlogged about these books which can be seen below and over on my youtube channel.

The Secret Woodland Activity Book

This is a beautifully illustrated and immersive Scandinavian-style woodland-themed activity book full of magic and make-believe. Rather than being an activity book that children take with them when playing outside, this exciting title is packed full of woodland activities for children to do wherever they are. Some of the characters in the woodland activity book include magical birds, woodland sprites and fairies as well as other more conventional creatures such as bears, owls and foxes.

Activities in this book include mazes, paper craft activities, colouring in, recipes, scenes to create with help from the included stickers and treasure maps, and all with a mystical and magical theme!

A truly magical and beautiful book to keep any child entertained for hours.
