  My nephew loved this present from his cousin. A lovely gift.

  Sun 06 Apr 2014

  Very happy with the book; the only reason I haven't rated it higher is that the pages are a bit on the thin side. Perhaps more suitable for older children who won't completely destroy it! Was despatched quickly and arrived earlier than anticipated. Looks lovely and would recommend.

  Fantastic birthday gift for a child

  This story was literally amazing. I was so happy I came across it. I bought it for my friends little boys 1st birthday and when she read it, she actually cried she was that touched. If you're looking for a very personal, touching and high quality gift then definitely buy this. Alongside this book I bought all of the little boys favourite things that I had printed in the story e.g. houmous, bubbles and stacking cups and then I bought a little steiff teddy bear to go with the story so they could act out the story together. I really loved it and have nothing negative to say at all. Even delivery was super quick and the packaging was great x

  My little grandson likes listening to the story. He is a bit young yet to understand that it is him who the book is about.

  Hard to rate this really, it's not poor but none of the other ratings fit the bill - it was quite sweet but I was disappointed and wished I had spent almost £20 on something else a little more substantial. I would not buy this book again.

  Great book but can I suggest you send them in better packaging! My postman has stuffed the book through my letter, because he was able too due to poor packaging, and I now have a bent book to give to my 2 year old godson as his birthday present.....not ideal. An unhappy customer! Laura Vroobel

  I wasn't sure what to buy my son for a memorable birthday present but this was perfect. It's so personalised I keep crying when I read it to him! Beautiful.

  Mon 16 Sep 2013

  Got this as a present for a 1st birthday and the parents and child loved it. However, it would have been even better if the book was not all in capital letters!

• 
  Thu 12 Sep 2013

  A cut above any of the other personalised children's story books I have found - love the illustrations and simple story, and really works. Very useful also that you can preview the pages on the noths website - I was able to tailor the personalised info to fit the right sentences which made it much more believable.

  I LOVED this book.......it is a present for my grandsons birthday next week and I cant wait to sit him on my knee to read it! The illustration is simple but quirky and will appeal to a small child. The story is just the right length for a two year old. It is one of the nicest gifts I have seen for a toddler.

  Really good service. Asked for the books to be sent as early as possible as they were a gift and they arrived ahead of time with a response to let us know what was happening.

• 
  Wed 03 Jul 2013

  I was very pleased with this product and my niece loves it so it was a success. My only quibble was that I requested it should be posted so as to reach my niece as close as possible to her birthday, July 4th. This request was disregarded and it was sent far too soon which rather spoiled the birthday surprise.

• 
  Thu 28 Mar 2013

  The story and illustrations are lovely and it is a really nice gift but the quality of the book itself let it down. It was very flimsy and didn't look anything like the 16 pounds I paid. I think a better quality cover is all that is required to make this product excellent.

  Sat 09 Mar 2013

  The story and idea is very good however the quality of the paper for the prices is poor I was disappointed as I wanted something the child could keep and the quality is very flimsy.

  Lou Brown Designs's response:

  Thanks for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear that you’re not totally happy with your purchase. We strive to provide items of the highest quality and we are sorry that you feel this has not been achieved on this occasion. Personalised items such as this are expensive to produce due to the fact they are unable to be mass produced and each book has to laid out and printed individually especially for each child resulting in high print costs. The book uses standard industry weight paper for use in books, your comments will be taken on board for the future development of the product.

• 
  Sat 19 Jan 2013

  very lovely, and a fab idea, however, the copy and pictures inside didn't quite match her gender- it is quite clearly a little boy playing with the bear at the end despite it supposedly being my Niece! I was thinking perhaps you could ask what the child's haircolour is so that the illustrations could really pass for being the child in question and make the gift even more special ... but I love that despite giving the child's gender over, the books weren't then stereotypically blue or pink, which is naff and a bit sexist- and the colour scheme and illustrations were lovely (despite the mix up with the little boy!) it was also delivered really quickly, thank you!

• 
  Sat 19 Jan 2013

  I bought two of these books for my niece and friends little boy. Both are 5 yrs old and learning to read, they both loved them! Great story and lovely illustrations. All personal info was correct and the message option on the back was a great touch!

• 
  Tue 15 Jan 2013

  Lovely book - well designed and a great idea. I think the product title should really read 'personalised child's story booklet' as opposed to book (as it is more pamphlet like than an actual book). However I cannot fault the product as for £15 it's great value, and ultimately you are paying for someone else's design and idea. Personally I thought the gift was good value for money. Thank you!

  This is not a book - it's a pamphlet - a very expensive one. I could produce almost the same at home.

  Book very thin and flimsy. Looks almost like something you'd get for free in a magazine. Great idea but in reality not great value for money.

  Sun 06 Jan 2013

  The idea of a personalised book is a very good one and any child would love having a story which is about them, and pre-reading age children can still enjoy it by having it read to them. My only observation is that the book is very short, and whilst I understand that it would be quite difficult and rather repetitive to have a very long story, I think it might benefit from being expanded a little, perhaps with some pictures. Otherwise the finished product was very good

• 
  Sat 05 Jan 2013

  The concept for this children's story book is lovely, I also thought the images and wording were very nice. However, the book is tiny and very poorly bound, with it feeling more like a programme rather than a book that will survive children. I do not expect it will last two minutes! When it arrived I was shocked that it cost over £17 with postage for this item so sadly I will not be purchasing another as I had originally planned.

  Lou Brown Designs's response:

  Thanks for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear that you’re not totally happy with your purchase. I'm very sorry you were disappointed in the product size and quality but thank-you for being so kind about the story and illustrations. Your comments have been taken on board and as from 1st January 2013 the book has been re-sized into a larger square format and a heavier weight cover has been implemented. Please do contact me if you wish discuss anything further. With Thanks, Lou.

  Story and words excellent. Only small criticism was that the words did not always stand out enough from the background. Grandson was thrilled to be the hero in a book !

• 
  Thu 27 Dec 2012

  The story was charming and the illustration was excellent however I was disappointed with the size of the book (I know should have read the description!) this and the thin paperback style let down the overall product

• 
  Thu 20 Dec 2012

  Fantastic idea but does seem expensive for what is essentially a booklet, rather than a proper feel book.

• 
  Wed 19 Dec 2012

  I should have read the description carefully, instead of just picking up the word 'book' in the title. Very disappointed when it arrived as it is more like a leaflet. Pictures and colours however were very nice.

  I will also be sending this back as it's not grammatically correct. I was asked what my nephews favourite toy was and I said 'ball' but in the context it's used in the book it should have been changed to 'a ball'. There was no way for me to check how it would be used in a sentence before I ordered but this should have been checked by the company sending it out.

  Lou Brown Designs's response:

  Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear that you’re not totally happy with your purchase. It is difficult with products that involve young children to be clear about how they refer to favourite items. For example a teddy may be known as "a teddy" "the teddy" or simply "teddy". Unfortunately in this incident I was incorrect in my assumption of the context of the ball. I am always more than happy to rectify any errors and have since this feedback contacted the customer to let them know that I will of course re-print and rectify the book with the context corrected and ensure it is sent via special delivery in time for Christmas.
