In a magical woodland setting filled with charming illustrations of enchanting forest animals, this simple rhyming tale will help your little boy understand just how exciting being a big brother can be!

Beautiful book. Would recommend
Jaime W7 Feb 2019
The personalization of the child's name did not appear in the storyline. It was only found within the illustrations. The spine of the paperback book was also slightly curved when I removed it from the package. I purchased this book for a relatively cheaper price since I bought it as a holiday gift and used a coupon code so in a sense I got what I paid for.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the Book received.
With the particular Book ordered the name is featured throughout the illustrations, this adds to the excitement of when the story is read for the Child to have a challenge and find their name hidden within the story. We do have a flip through Book of the complete story however we do take all your comments on board. We are sorry to hear this happened with the spine we can only imagine this happened in transit, if you wish send some images to the email below we could always take a look into this for you.

This book has my grandson’s name on many pages, but his name is not incorporated into the story like I expected it to be. Honestly I am disappointed with this book.

After a delay in delivery
After a delay in delivery, the book was delivered. The veteran I sent it to thought it was extremely well done and gave him insight to what the public was getting. He appreciated getting it. Thank you for responding to my concerns.
