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.

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.

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.

Great product. Bought as a gift for a birthday. Will definitely be buying one for my little boy.
Very easy to purchase what I needed from the website. Delivery was fast and the books were exactly as ordered (personalised). A very pleasant shopping experience.

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.

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.

Absolutely brilliant company. Bought the Leeds united memory book It is brilliant cant wait to give the gift because I know the recipient is going to be absolutely amazed by it.

The child's name only appears on the opening page of each story. Other companies replace the name of the character in the story with the child's name.
The format and quality of the book prints and presentation are good.

Very disappointed in this book for so much money - unfortunately I believed my granddaughter would appear in the story not just at the top of the pages - feel as if I’ve been conned!
