Loved it!!

It is a one-of-a- kind book. Definitely marks which birthday it is and who is the birthday boy. A very memorable keepsake for family.

I bought this as a first birthday present. The quality of the book was good and it was a lovely idea however I didn't realise that the number of objects on each page is the same as the age of the recipient. So for a one year old there was only 1 of each thing which didn't make sense with the stories. Such a shame! Would be much better to have different numbers or to make this clearer in the description.

Am really pleased with the book and am looking forward to giving it for a First Birthday present. Bright illustrations and catchy rhymes. Was pleasantly surprised to find the child's name printed on each page too (perhaps I'd missed that bit!).

Really nice idea for a young child's birthday to help them learn too! Arrived really quick and a good quality, colourful and detailed book which I will purchase again for others. Not yet given it to he birthday boy but know he will love it when I do.
Very good service, always in contact with you with good news and delays. Went the extra mile

Poor quality
Very disappointed with my first experience purchasing from In The Book. Both books I ordered arrived with issues - one was bound incorrectly so the spine was bent, whilst the other contained very poor quality illustrations. Even the front cover illustration (Alice in Wonderland) was blurry. Throughout the pages, printing lines are visible and most images just look pale and blurry like a bad quality VHS. Customer service replied very quickly and were helpful - sending out immediate replacements no issue. One book is fine, the other is just as poor quality so I've requested a refund as it is not gift-worthy. Hopefully this will be actioned just as quickly. A shame and I certainly wouldn't recommend.
