Shelby 3 - Find Shelby

Among the game book series intended for children, the one dedicated to the funny mouse Shelby, born from the brushes of Francesco Mattioli (curator of the Raven Edizioni game book series) has been cut out over the years a respectable slice of the public.

The series is suitable for children aged 4/5, as each book is developed exclusively through illustrations, without texts, which contain the paragraph numbers to which we can go. The first issue, Shelby: The Adventures of a Country Mouse, introduces the homonymous character, lost in the meadows and whom we will have to bring home to his family.

In the second issue, Shelby in the Haunted House, things get complicated a little. Not only for the poor mouse, who in addition to the dangers of nature, also has to contend with dozens of monsters of all kinds, but also for the player. There is in fact a very simple game system, which requires you to take into account the monsters you encounter: finding too many, in fact, could cause Shelby too much fear and prematurely end the adventure.

It is finally out. also the third issue of the series, Find Shelby, already available on Amazon.

Find Shelby is available for online purchase
