Recommendations for a good busy book for an 18-month-old

Can anyone recommend a decent 'busy book' for an 18m old to help occupy them during a wedding reception please? I've seen plenty on Amazon, but they are either too advanced with alphabet and buckles or seem really rubbish quality.

I've also seen Wondertivity books which is the sort of thing I'm looking for, but they are from Australia, lots of £££ and I don't have that much time for extended length for delivery.

I will add that I will be taking other toys, but I felt something like a book would be easy to manage.

The hahaland farm one. I bought the noah's ark and the ocean one but they're not as good.

There are some nice ones on Etsy. Something like this would also be quite portable

Do you have a WH Smith’s near you? Or whatever it is called now. They always have a good selection in stock and then you can figure out which one might suit your DC’s interest and dexterity best
