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.
Great product but shocking customer service. Ordered newspaper and puzzle book at the beginning of the month. Straight after ordering I noticed a mistake with the wording on the certificate. No option to amend order, as it was out of hours so I used their contact form to ask for the issue to be sorted prior to dispatch. Product arrived 4 days later and the issue had not been fixed. A whole 12 days after I initially got in contact I received an email stating that since my order has been dispatched they could not rectify it. If I was asking for a whole replacement order then fair enough but I was only asking for the wording to be changed on the A5 certificate. I was going to order some other products however with the poor customer service I've received I'll look elsewhere.
