I used to have this well cool book but I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. I can't remember what it was called exactly but I know that it was this book with 5 laminated cardboard pages that had 5 different scenes (one on each page). The book also came with a set of removable cling felts that stuck to the pages so you can make a scene. The cling felts were mostly animals.

I remember the first page had a jungle scene, the second page had a garden scene, the third page had a desert scene, the forth page had an under the sea scene and the fifth page had a forest scene. I couldn't read at the time so I can't remember what the book was specifically called or if it had words in or not. I don't think it did have any words, as it wasn't a storybook, just more of a creativity book.

I had it in the 90s so it was probably a 90s thing but I can't remember what happened to it but it must be on the internet somewhere. Maybe I'm not entering the correct information. I was just wondering if anyone else had this book (or have still got it now)? It's really frustrating me that I can't find it anywhere.

When I had chicken pox in the 70s, I got a toy that was kind of similar to your book. There were sticky pages with static, and pieces of coloured yarn. The idea was to "colour" the pictures by fitting little pieces of coloured yarn into the spaces so the pictures would get coloured. I remember doing a jungle scene with a parrot. I'm not sure if it was a whole book, or just the one page with the parrot.

Something similar to Melissa & Doug's Habitats? Yes, I do remember playing with such a thing, likely in the 80s tho. I also remember playing with that style (place things on a background) as a digital game (offline, pc (dos or windows)) when young too.

I can vaguely remember making pictures by putting different shaped bits of felt on something in the 80s. Can't remember any more about it though.

It was something very similar to that. But the animal felt pieces didn't have colourful details on them, they were just plain colours (like some were orange, others were yellow, others red, etc. You just knew what the animals were by their shape).

Ooh. Fuzzy Felts!
We had those in the 1970's. Was not a book but was similar.
