I was given my prezzie early and have been having great fun with it in between work things. Think I'll break the cultural loading and make my own book choices though.

Must haves Hungry Caterpillar, Grug, Mr Grumpy, Smoke & Fluff. Other ideas welcome. Needs to be recognisable at 9x14mm

I love this! I was planning on gifting one (a book book) this year.

If it's the same brand, I can recommend. Nice clean punch outs and they duplicate some of the tiniest likely breaks.

I LOVE miniatures. You've done a great job!

The ones I can think of are Possum Magic, Mulga Bill's Bicycle, Dr Seuss, Winnie the Pooh.
