A reading nook
In the middle of the library, the unicorn has sat down on a big cushion, an open book in her hooves, flowers in her mane. A fluffy cat has sat down beside her. On either side, stacks of books wait their turn. All around, the shelves are packed full.
The house of books
A library is a place where you can read anything you like without buying a thing. This one has it all: shelves loaded with books, a globe, a plant, a hanging lamp and a window with tied-back curtains. The unicorn has found her quiet corner there.
Books galore
At six, this page takes patience: every book on the shelves and in the stacks is a little space to color. You can work row by row, alternating colors. The unicorn and the cat in the middle offer bigger surfaces to rest on.
A colorful library
The books can take every color: red, blue, green, yellow, as on real shelves. The wood of the shelves gets colored light brown. The globe can take blue for the oceans and green for the land. The cat can be orange, gray or tabby.
A word for the grown-up: get your child a card at your local library. At six, having your own card and choosing your own books is a real source of pride, and the reading habit settles in for the long run.
