Sticky Icky Vicky

Sticky Icky I Love Animals A to Z is a picture book written by award-winning author Alysia Ssentamu together with her seven-year-old daughter, Rhea. The two set out to make a learning book for very young children, and it follows a character named Vicky through a bright, colourful setting as she moves from one creature to the next.

Across its pages, the book pairs lavish artwork with tidbits about wildlife while working through the alphabet, so children pick up letters as they go. Each animal is introduced with a short fact that gives young readers something new to remember.

A search-and-find feature asks children to look for hidden items on the pages, so they take an active part in the story instead of only listening to it. The book is aimed at readers aged two to five.
