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 personalized Santa story book with their name throughout the story and sprinkled across the colorful 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 Personalize Your Santa Book
Personalize 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 11 x 8″ softback and hardback are available in the standard cover. The 11 x 8″ 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.

Great Products
I ordered three books (two with plush toys) for my young nieces and nephews back in America. They arrived in a reasonable amount of time given the distance and the pandemic, and the children love them.
