Lovely book with my granddaughter’s name printed throughout, our message to her and a lovely photo of her at the back. Can’t wait to give it to her for Christmas

I think my grandson will love this book. As he lives in China I am not able to send heavy items to him and his sisters for their birthdays so books are always welcome. He is besotted with dinosaurs so I am sure he will be amazed that his name is in a story all of his own!

Disappointed
The book came & it is for my dad who is 88. The print in the book is extremely small & not very clear. I can hardly read it so I’m not sure if he will be able to. Not worth the money and very disappointed with this.
