Nine is the number of worlds in Norse mythology, the number of brains an octopus has ... and it’s the number of years you need to be before you open this book!This quirky activity book for kids is jam-packed with things to do. Young readers can dive in and enjoy cool stories (including a choose-your-own adventure!), fun 9-themed facts and step-by-step ‘how to draw awesome things’ pages. There’s also engaging hands-on activities to try, such as ‘How to Draw Kawaii People’ and ‘Make the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies’. A celebration of all things nine, it’s the perfect birthday book for kids who are about to turn 9, with aspirational entries to help readers plan their best year ever – such as ‘If I Ran the World’, ‘This Year I Will …’ and ‘My Perfect Menu’.With silly trivia, laugh-out-loud jokes, games and doodles to do, it’s also a great way to keep 9-year-olds entertained at any time of the year.
