In this funny and charming tale, it’s Christmas Eve and every child is leaving scrumptious mince pies for Santa as he makes his way around the world, delivering presents for good boys and girls. However, Santa has eaten one pie too many and his growing tummy causes him to get stuck in the chimney!
Luckily your child is on hand, taking on the role of the heroic dog who helps free Santa! Written in jolly rhyming verse, your child plays a starring role in our personalised Santa storybook with their name throughout the story and sprinkled across the colourful illustrations. For a special keepsake, the hardcover edition comes with your little one’s name embossed in gold. With three fantastic covers to choose from, you’ll be able to create the perfect gift in time for Christmas.
How To Personalise Your Santa Book
Personalise your book with any name up to 12 characters, which will be printed on the cover and featured throughout the book in the story and illustrations. Add a personal message of two lines, up to 40 characters per line, which will appear on the title page.
There are three cover options to choose from: The A4 softback and A4 hardback are available in the standard cover. The classic hardback is bound in a premium hardcover with gold lettering. Why not add a luxury gift box for a thoughtful finishing touch?

I wish that the main character was not a dog-a child or an elf would have been better. It was an original story, which I was looking for, so kudos to you for having one. Pricey, but a good keepsake.

I ordered this personalised book for my Granddaughter. A third into the book the name changed to that of her dog which was a bit confusing. I was told that the story is told through the eyes of the dog but this is not made clear when ordering.

Extremely bad quality
The order was late and they had given a week delivery slot which is pretty bad. The book arrived with a dog eared corner and a crease down the spine. It’s a flimsy quality that will tear easily along the spine if bent the wrong way. I have bought this for a 1 year old first birthday and I don’t know if they will be able to play with it. Please trust the reviews and stay away!! The products are overpriced and poor quality. I don’t usually leave reviews but felt the need to on here.
