There's been a bit of a delay in my reviewing of this because, to be frank, I've been too busy screaming with joy over it. Every. Single. Time. I'm not one for craft, really, as I have the adeptness of a lemon when it comes to such things, but My Miniature Library is adorable. And accessible! And a conceit so delightful that it almost beggars belief!
Presented in a robust box, the contents of My Miniature Library make up thirty small books - both classic and less well known, alongside several blanks to create your own book. These books can be subsequently displayed on a small bookshelf, which can be then situated against the backdrop of the box which, on the interior, is patterned with a wall scene and carefully laid floor (seriously, if you're not squeaking with joy at this point then we need to talk). The tiny books themselves are madly delightful. I'm not sure why such extremes of scale are, but these are beautiful. The instructions are clear; super little people might need help with the more fiddly aspects, but this teaches bookbinding! sequential literacies! how to make your own book! how to become madly possessive over beautiful things!
God , I love this. It's adorable. Buy it for the young people in your life and then borrow it.
(And by borrow, I mean buy them another and keep one for yourself).
My thanks to the publisher for a review copy.

Bonito, buenos materiales, fácil de armar y tiene algunos libros personalizables para aumentar la mini biblioteca. Todos los libros se pueden leer y la colección es variada y bonita.
Me tarde mucho en terminar de armarlo porque los estaba cortando con muchísimo cuidado pero en realidad las instrucciones son facilísimas.
Lo mejor es que después se puede guardar en la caja-libro para que no se pierdan o maltraten las piezas.

This book is such a unique reading experience! This is a kit that comes with 30 tiny books and instructions on how to put them together. They’re very easy to make. It also comes with a cardboard bookshelf to store the books, and the box it comes in opens up to look like a quaint parlor to set everything up for a cute display. The 30 books include fairytales and some nonfiction books (you can actually read the tiny pages!) as well as 10 books where you can personalize your own stories! I recommend this for anyone who loves books, crafts, and miniatures.
