The Snowman and the Snowdog Penwizard Review

I have a massive secret, well it may not be so secret but it is very true. I Love the Snowman. Its true I am glad to get it off my chest. It takes me back every time to being a little girl and it being Christmas eve. Me and my sisters all sitting in the dark Christmas Tree lights on, all brimming with excitement. Its something that I treasure and from that I grew my love for the Snowman. The Snowman and the Snowdon is the Sequel to The Snowman which sees a young boy build a snowdog after his dog passes a few months earlier. 

We got asked to review The Snowman and The Snow Dog Personalised book by Penwizard. Which I knew I was going to love, I mean Son Son would love. He is going through the stage of loving books.  He loves nothing more than to sit on someones lap and listen to them read him a story. 

The best thing about the book is that it is personalised and suited to your child. You can choose the types of hair/ skin colour/ gender.  So the little child in the book is just like the character in the original story. Along with that your child's name is throughout the story which is such a great feature. For Son Son it kept him engaged hearing his name. Although when I read the book to Ami she was very cross it wasn't about her. The book only took a few days after ordering too which I thought was rather amazing as I expected to wait a few weeks for it. 

The book is high quality through out. We opted for the hard back version so that it would last longer. We have had a few favourite paperback books that are now a bit torn, with love I may add. This book has ticked all the boxes for me as an massive Snowman fan along with being a rather sweet book. I always love Raymond Briggs work I love that the illustration is matched through out such a great gift. 

The book costs £24.99 in hard back and £17.99 paper back. 

You can personalise the book too which is an added bonus. 

This book will make the most perfect Christmas Present for any child, so what are you waiting for get your orders in quick as you won't be disappointed 

Penwizard - Ben and Holly's Personalised Birthday book Review

If your child is anything like mine they actually need very little. My daughter is happy playing with her brothers toys that can keep her entertained for hours. So with her 2nd birthday coming up we have been stuck on what to get her. She does not need much although she does want ice cream she told me. When I was offered the chance to review the Ben and Holly book from Penwizard I thought what a great idea and a gift that can be kept and remembered for years to come.

The website was easy to use and the little character in the book can be personalised to look by your child, you can choose the colour hair and skin. Even your child's date of birth is included in the story. Which is a nice touch for your child when you read the book. You can also add a personalised message in the front cover. We went for Happy 2nd Birthday as the book does not have an option to put the age of the child. The book has 24 full colour glossy pages and your child's name throughout the book. 

I loved the little touches in the book, really makes it more special to see and more personal. I can see the book being pulled out every birthday (and everyday between). The story is all about how Ben and Holly make a card for Ami, it is very sweet and one she will love. Thankfully my daughter loves books so this was an ideal present for her, and any child who loves Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. The only disappointment we had that it didn't include her age, but then it can be re wrapped for the next year too. She got the book a little early and has enjoyed pointing herself out and smiling when ever her name is read out.

You can purchase the book from the Penwizard website where it retails at a reasonable £14.99 for the softback option, which I think is very reasonable for a personalised gift. The best thing is that it came in no time at all, there was me thinking that it being personalised would take ages.
