Good quality book

I am delighted with this book. It is a good quality book with lovely illustrations. Being able to include our own photo and personal message was a bonus that added to the personalised feel. I am looking forward to enjoying this book with my daughter (age 5).

A book my dyslexic son wants to read..

Hi Mike! I was just about to message you. I have been away and returned to your amazing book. I cannot express just how proud my son felt when he saw it! Really made him feel special, amazing and important.. What all children need... Especially a dyslexic one!
Thankful for your kindness, encouragement and acknowledgement of a child out there trying their best to make a difference. You've produced a book he actually wants to read 😊

Definitely worth it!

Suggested to have a look by Mike himself, genuinely nice guy if you ever get to meet him.

Had a look with my misses and we thought this one looked nice, turns out it's about teething which is perfectly timed with Freyja as shes started to teeth herself.

Book came quick for given its personalised throughout, and the quality is fantastic. Definitely going to last, and when reading it to her, she loves the story

The book is delightful and insightful

The book is delightful and insightful. My Grandson will love it. The illustrations are beautiful and the explanation about the injection will put any child’s mind at ease. Mike was extremely helpful and went above and beyond when I had a problem ordering (due to my incompetence with a computer) and sorted everything out for me. Will definitely recommend and order again.

great book

after some confusion with wowcher codes, but contact supplier who sorted this out for us.(very quickly)
the books are a great quality and any child would be happy to see their names and a picture of themselves in their own little book.
only one thing i would say is that id prefer the childs picture to feature alittle more.
this will make a fantastic present that can be treasured.... thank you for everything ... keep writing. have a blessed xmas..

I received my Ruby & skinny monkey books,I ordered for my three granddaughters for Christmas today. I'm absolutely delighted with them, They are beautifully written, illustrated ,& presented. With all my granddaughters names & features exactly as I'd requested them to be. I've also spoken to Mike & corresponded with him via email. He was very nice & helpful to me. I can't wait for Christmas, to be able to give them to them. In fact I'll probably end up giving them to them early. Looking at the other stories Mike has written, I will definitely be ordering from Mike again!.

We all love Mike’s book!

We all love Mike’s book!
'When I grow up' was super easy to order. I thought the detailed personalisation would take oodles of information and time, but it was straight forward to do. Delivery was quick, again something I anticipated taking a while due to the bespoke nature of the book.
And then the fun began... my daughter was delighted to get mail - she recognised her name on the envelope when it arrived. Once opened, her face was somewhere between utter delight and a little disbelief when she saw that this book was not just for her but has her name in it and the main character looks like her. She could hardly believe it. And now we have the best time snuggling up to read and talking about what kind of job she might be doing when she grows up, as well as what mum and dad and everyone else in her life get up to while she’s at preschool.
A delightful book!
We have also dropped some heavy hints with the family for maybe another book or two for Christmas. =)
