Clement Clarke Moore’s timeless and magical poem is transformed into a treasured keepsake in this stunning, personalised edition of the ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas story. Beautiful hand-painted illustrations with your child’s name fill the pages of this beautiful edition, telling the story of a father who hears a strange noise in the night of Christmas Eve and looks out the window to see none other than St Nicholas!
The book makes a super special Christmas Eve treat before Santa pays a visit overnight, and will get your little one excited and ready for Christmas Day. Beautiful, Christmassy illustrations feature on every page of the book and your child will be able to spot their own name throughout the book as they flick through the pages! It’s the perfect bedtime read for your little one in the lead-up to Christmas.
The ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas children’s book is available in a soft cover or bound in a premium silk cover with your child’s name embossed in gold. There’s even the option to add a luxury gift box to make this magical Christmas book extra special!
How to Personalise Your Night Before Christmas Book

Second book I’ve bought for my granddaughter. This one is ready for her Christmas Eve box and will hopefully be the start of a Christmas Eve story time tradition

DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!
DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!! SCAM
wasted 28 pound on this for my sons birthday very disappointed and angry.
Would not recommend to anyone.
Very arrogant on the phone when calling to ask about the item. And email reply wasn't any better.
Save your money and either build a bear on the website or go elsewhere like etsy or not on the highstreet.
If i could minuses stars I would as even 1 is to much

The book itself is absolutely beautiful…
The book itself is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully illustrated. I couldn’t upload a photo onto the website, it kept sticking, so I ordered the book on a bank holiday Friday evening and it was confirmed at 2000h same night.
I e mailed in the book with a photo attached the following morning Saturday at 0730h and asked if anything could possibly be done to attach it. I received a reply that it was too late, already in production, nothing could be done. In 12hrs ? I was really disappointed - I wish I had contacted CS before placing my original order.
Also I assumed Alice would somehow be woven into the stories as advertised “in the books” other stories but The Ultimate Princess Collection does not offer this. Your child’s name appears on the top of each page but they are actually not IN the stories.
If I ordered again I would be much more aware of what is actually on offer.
In The Book does not mean IN every story, so read carefully before ordering as I’m sad to say I didn’t do.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear this.
Once a customer has confirmed their order, it is not always possible to add/amend personalisation, as our Production Team are currently working 24 hours a day to keep up with the demand on orders and a photo does have to be uploaded at the time of ordering. With your order, unfortunately your book has already been printed and therefore amendments could not be made, which we do apologise for.
In regards to the Child’s name throughout the book, unfortunately this is not possible with every book that we sell, however we do make it clear within the product information. With the book that you have ordered, we do confirm that your child’s name will appear on the cover and on each page. We do apologise if this information was missed at the time of ordering.
As a gesture, we have applied a 10% discount to your order, which has been refunded to you. We hope will help towards rectify your dissatisfaction.
Please do accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards,
The In The Book Team

A great cover and fronts piece.
A great cover and fronts piece.
However, Some of the early pages were unreadable even with glasses and a magnifying glass in use. Some of the pages of the 1960s were unreadable as well, and one was even shown to be torn and disheveled as if lifted from a dustbin.
