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. Your son will be the star of the story as big brother bear, who unfolds all the cool things about being an older brother, such as teaching his little brother or sister to swim, building spaceships and making yummy midnight feasts.
Everyone knows how hard it can sometimes be for young children to welcome new siblings to the world, and we created this storybook to specially help them understand the changes that are coming, and to welcome these changes and embrace them positively. Every illustration in this heart-warming personalised big brother book features your little boy’s name for a lovely personal touch that shows just how exciting it is to welcome a new member to the family. You’ll love reading this together.
How to Personalise Your Big Brothers are Great Book
Personalise with any name up to 12 characters which will feature on the cover of the book and sprinkled throughout this magical tale. Add a personal message of two lines, up to 40 characters per line, which will appear on the title page. Check your personalisation: accents and other symbols cannot be used unless otherwise stated.
You can also add a special photo of your boy that goes on the back page of the book, using our unique image upload tool to make the book one they can truly cherish.

Beautiful book. Would recommend

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.

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.

I love the book. I am very satisfied with the way it came out. I will definitely get another one.

Great product. Bought as a gift for a birthday. Will definitely be buying one for my little boy.
very happy with the unicorn poo book! It was a gift for a 7 year old who has found great enjoyment with her new book. Lots of things to look out for and having her name to find on each page has made it all the more special. Very happy over-all

When I first tried to place my order…
When I first tried to place my order for Swallows and Amazon personalised hardback the website would not allow me to enter my message. I telephoned and was told by a very helpful lady who I think her name was Sandra told me it was a technical problem and she would get back to me when it was resolved. I was amazed that at 9am the next morning she called me to say all was now fixed.The customer service was great and when the book was received it was really good quality. Very impressed and would recommend.

Amazing books
Amazing books! Purchased as Birthday gifts for 3 daughters and they love them as well as their children. One daughter left to go and she is excited already for HER OWN story. Book Quality is exceptional and the service is Fantastic and cannot say enough positive regarding all 3 experiences. Highly Recommend.

Promises of delivery date..completely…
Promises of delivery date..completely wrong and not so helpful folk.
Product...much, much smaller and thinner than I had believed. Not sure I would repeat my experience with company.
Lisa jane29 Sep 2020
Not great
To be honest I was slightly let down... the book basically has my nieces name on the front of the book and that's it! I thought her name would have been involved in the story?! €28 is alot of money for something I could have done myself!

Nicely presented book.
The book was presented very nicely and looks very engaging. There were two pronoun errors in the text but given that it took a while to arrive, I don't have time for an exchange before the date I intend to present the book. The receiver is not at an age where he will be bothered around pronouns too much but likely to be delighted to see himself and his beloved dog in the story. It would be good if there were a range of different adventures to choose from.

The service given and the final product…
The service provided and the final product were both fantastic. Having made an inputting error (wrong year!) at the point of order, the error was picked up, queried and corrected by a member of the In The Book team, before going to print. My parents were simply delighted with the finished product; they described it as beautifully presented, a trip down memory lane and a real keep sake to share with friends and family. Thank you In The Book.

The Haynes guide for Pensioners…
The Haynes guide for Pensioners dedicated to Arthur was a huge hit! His thank you card about it read that he had started out with chuckles and giggles but it became laugh out loud funny once he had claimed it from the rest of the family!
