Curious Creatures & Marvellous Monsters art activity book

This book explores how art and storytelling use tipua.

Monsters and creatures can help explain things we can’t see, or strange things that happen. Dragons. Unicorns. Gnomes!

Create your own tipua, find them in word searches, play with shapes, and write your own story...
