A few months ago now, we were kindly given the opportunity to review a personalised children’s book from Penwizard. I’ve been meaning to get this post up for a while now but as this arrived when I was away in Camber, we didn’t get around to reading it as quickly as we would have.
Jack is very much at the age now where he wants to be running around and active all the time and is reluctant to settle down for a story. I was very excited at the prospect of giving him a personalised book now he is a little older and can understand a little more. He has had personalised books in the past but he didn’t seem to understand that he was in the story. We picked ‘Jack Saves Toy Town’ as our book of choice and I set about making Jack look like…well, Jack! He has had his hair cut now (post coming soon!) so this doesn’t look like him right now, but I still think it is a good likeness, no?
Ordering the book itself was incredibly easy – you simply click onto the personalised section of the site and add in details about your child, then checkout. We were given a promo code for this but the process is simple enough.
When we finally settled down to read it, I was enamoured at how well Jack behaved and how he listened intently – he was enamoured. He is recognising his name more and more often these days so this story really helped him to understand that little bit more.
What I particularly love myself is that there is space for a little message at the beginning so it makes it even more personal. In terms of quality, the book is fantastic – the pictures are crisp and sharp and the colours are bright as they should be. My only niggle with this is the price – whilst I understand it is personalised thus I would expect to pay a little extra, I do think £14.99 is a little steep even so. What do you think?

The book looks great, I think the personalised books are brilliant for children who don't like to sit and read because they feel more involved.
These are a fabulous idea! I think the idea if a personalised book is fabulous for children as they love seeing and hearing their names involved in stories of their favourite characters!
These books are brilliant! I got my daughter a Peppa Pig one last Christmas and she loves it 🙂
