[LOOKING] 1990s UK children's educational book, white hardbound, blue strip cover, cartoonish human characters, scene spreads at end

I’m trying to find a children’s book I had as a kid in the Philippines, likely published in the UK or Canada around 1995–2000.

Cover: Thin hardbound, white with a sky blue strip/banner at the top (possibly bottom too)

Content: Cartoonish illustrations, human characters (not animals). Each page has 4–6 panels, each panel with a short sentence or label.

Educational, possibly first words or ABC format, aimed at ages 5–10, not babies.

Most distinctive feature: At the end of the book there are multiple full 2-page illustrated scene spreads. I remember a grocery store and a playground for sure, possibly others.

Art style feels closest to Usborne but I couldn’t find an exact match browsing their catalog.

Not very thick. Hardbound.

Any help appreciated, this has been bothering me for years! :)
