Books where they are part of the story

Children love finding their own name in a book. It turns up on the cover, in the words and painted into the pictures, on Santa's sleigh, on Humpty Dumpty's wall or on a present waiting under the tree, and spotting it becomes part of reading together.

Every book here is printed to order with the name you choose, and each one also has room for a message of your own on the first page, so you can say who it is from. Each product page sets out the character limits and how the name will appear.

Choosing a personalised book

Personalised Christmas books

In the It's Christmas story book, the child helps Santa and his elf save Christmas over 32 pages, with a choice of Jingles the Elf and a blue cover or Twinkles the Elf and a purple cover. The Magical Christmas Adventure story book follows Jingles and a mischievous teddy bear through Santa's grotto over 28 fully illustrated pages, and opens with a letter from Santa. Both make a good read for Christmas Eve.

A book and teddy set

The Magical Christmas Adventure book also comes as a gift set with a teddy bear in a white jumper carrying the same name. The story ends with a teddy from Santa, so the real one can be handed over as the last page is turned. The bear is suitable for children aged 36 months and over.

Colouring and nursery rhymes

The Christmas colouring book has 28 pages with the child's name on the cover and hidden in the pictures, in a fairy or an elf version. It is not suitable for children under 3, because it contains small parts. For a book that lasts well beyond December, the Nursery Rhyme Book has 19 illustrated rhymes over 28 pages, with the name painted into the pictures.

Getting the name right

Most of these books ask you to type the name in normal upper and lower case, for example Emily or George, because a name in capitals can make the story hard to read. More name gifts are on the personalised baby gifts page, and Christmas designs are on the personalised Christmas gifts page.

Personalised Books for Kids: Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the child's name appear in a personalised book?

On the cover and throughout the book. In the story books, the name is part of the text and the pictures, for example on Santa's sleigh. In the colouring book it turns up on the pages to be coloured in, and in the Nursery Rhyme Book it is painted into the illustrations. Each product page shows example pages, so you can see how it will look.

Can I add a message inside the book?

Yes, in every one. The story books and the Nursery Rhyme Book take a message of up to four lines of 25 characters on the first page, and the colouring book takes two lines of 25 characters, which is room for a dedication such as who the book is from and the date.

What age are the personalised books for?

It depends on the book. The Christmas colouring book is not suitable for children under 3 because it contains small parts, and the teddy bear in the book and teddy set is suitable from 36 months. The story books and the Nursery Rhyme Book are picture books for reading aloud together, so check each product page for its details.

How long does a personalised book take to arrive?

Each book is printed to order once you have added the personalisation, and then sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24, so please allow 2 to 5 business days in total. Orders placed after midday, or at the weekend, start from the next working day. For Christmas, please check our last order dates in the banner at the top of the page and leave a few days to spare.

What happens if the name is spelled wrong or the book arrives damaged?

Because every book is personalised and made to order, it can't be returned for a change of mind. If it arrives faulty or damaged, or the personalisation isn't what you ordered, please get in touch and we'll put it right. Our returns policy has the details. Please check the spelling and capitals before you order.
