I was so so happy for Evie to receive this book for Christmas from her grandma and fully intend to get it for other people I know. It's not like any other personalised book as the entire story is created by your childs name.
In the story, the little boy or girl wake up to discover that they cannot remember their name. They then go off on a courageous journey to rediscover it. Along the way the meet a variety of creatures who help them and each creature donates the first letter of their name to the child. At the end of the story the little boy or girl realise that the letters they have collected spell out their lost name.
The book is a colourful and stunningly illustrated. Every name creates a different story and you can actually go and preview your own story (click here) on the books website. If you have more than one letter in your name then worry not, their is no duplicate pages as they have created enough different animals to cater for this. For example, along Evie's magical journey she met a forgetful Elephant, a Viking who loved to bake ciabattas, a misunderstood Imp and a friendly eagle.
The book isn't that expensive for such a beautiful keepsake and is printed on environmentally friendly paper which gives it a beautiful finish. It looks and feels a lot nicer and sturdier than general picture books. This would make the perfect gift for any child from newborn to primary school!
I would have LOVED to have had this book when I was younger. We can't wait for Evie to understand the story and get excited about the adventure that she goes on in the book in order to retrieve her name.

DeleteI love this book we have it for our youngest, and I love that he has 2 Ds I'm his name but they aren't both dragons in the book! #toddlerapprovedtuesday
ReplyDeleteIt's great isn't it! Evie has two E's & she has an eagle & an elephant. It's really beautiful. I thought because she had a short name, that she'd have a short book, but they bump it out with extra pages so everyone has the same :-) xx
