“I purchased 'The Lost Boo' as an alternative halloween gift, as the children just get too many sweets! The book arrived quicker than expected (5 working days) which I thought was very speedy for standard shipping, considering it had to be bespokely made. It looks great, I'm really excited to gift to my grandaughter next week. She hasn't seen it, so I can't share her reaction yet...”

“My wife and I purchased two of these books for our twin granddaughters, and we have been very pleased with the experience. The books arrived promptly. We placed our order on 4th May and received them within a week, despite not selecting the expedited shipping option. They arrived in a simple brown postal package. Whilst there did not appear to be a gift-wrapping option, this was not something we would have chosen in any case. The books themselves are slim paperbacks, containing 20 story pages and 20 accompanying colouring pages, arranged across double-page spreads. The paper quality is excellent, and I was impressed by the overall presentation. They feel like thoughtfully produced, high-quality products rather than novelty items. We had previewed the story before purchasing, and the finished books matched our expectations perfectly. Whilst we had already seen some of the illustrations, many were new to us, and I must say they were remarkably well done. The characters closely resembled the photographs we had uploaded, and even the proportions and apparent ages of the children seemed accurate. Quite how this is achieved from a handful of photographs is beyond me, but the results were impressive. Most importantly, our granddaughters' reaction was wonderful. They immediately recognised themselves and the friends we had included in the story. They began colouring the books the very same day and, whilst they completed some pages straight away, it took them the better part of a week to finish the entire book. Their mother tells us that the books are now kept beside their beds and are regularly read at bedtime. The story itself is simple and engaging, and at seven years old the girls are able to read most of it independently, requiring only occasional assistance. I would happily recommend these books to other grandparents or parents looking for a unique and personal gift. In my view, they represent very good value for money and deliver exactly what they promise. Should additional story options become available in the future, we would certainly consider purchasing again, perhaps for Christmas. A seasonal or festive edition would be particularly appealing.”

“It was easy to create and great fun colouring it in. My 4 year old Grandson loved that it had his name and my Granddaughter loved reading it to him! Pages are good quality and fast delivery x”

“OMG Ryan's book is AMAZING. Thanks so much, I will be ordering more for my other kids. He absolutely loves it. We had a 'yes' day for his birthday and he kept requesting to colour in the book, super easy compared to most of the requests. To be honest I wasn't 100% sure on how the book would turn out but it totally exceeded expectations.”

Julia H.
“I think I probably expected a few more customisation options, like changing the dragons name etc. And I would have liked to add in more characters. But overall it was still a really nice gift.”
James R.
“Saw this on Facebook and took a chance. Glad I did. My little girl spent nearly an hour colouring the pages the day it arrived and then wanted the story read before bed. It's rare to find something that keeps her interested for that long.”
Sophie L.
“Thanks”

“Great purchase”

“Ordered this for my daughters 6th birthday and she absolutely loved it. The book quality is nice and the story felt much more personalised than I expected. She's already started colouring in some of the pages. My daughter likes colouring with felt pens and with normal colouring books this often doesnt work well as the colour bleeds into the next page, but the pages were really good quality and we haven't experience this as an issue. I was however dissapointed with not being able to add our dog into the story. I thought I would be able to do this and it would have been even better with Jojo our retriever, in the story.”
Natalie P.
“I wasn't sure what to expect but honestly it turned out beautifully. The illustrations were lovely and my son was so excited to spot himself throughout the book.”
Rachel H.

David P.
“What a wonderful product. The book is a great success..I found it useful to use photos of my grandchildren that had something distinctive to them..individual hairstyles and a favourite hat worked well.”

“I ordered a book for my daughter and she absolutely loved it. Delivery was quick and the book quality was great. she was so excited to see herself in the story and has already spent ages colouring it in. Would definitely recommend!.”

“I genuinely wasn’t expecting my son to love it as much as he did. He sat colouring his own story for over an hour!!(Which never happens in our house).. It felt really special and personal and a made a unique gift.”
Alicia O.
“I bought this for my granddaughters and wasn’t expecting to get emotional about it. I felt connected to the images and the storyline hooked me at the end. The girls absolutely loved them Bravo magic moon 🙌🏾👏🏾”
