For as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed reading and my love of books is something I hope my children will inherit. The boys have quite an impressive little library already and I make a point of reading to them at least once a day. A great way to get young children interested in reading is with a book about their favourite characters, and even better if the child features in the book as well! Little N adores Thomas & Friends so this personalised Christmas book with him at the centre of the story is just the ticket.
Creating a personalised Thomas & Friends Christmas book* is really quick and easy. It takes a few minutes to enter the names and select the hair, skin and clothing options to make the image look just like your child. The 25-page long book is then filled using these details to create their very own personal adventure with Thomas & Friends. The book takes about 10 days to produce and is sent by First Class mail.
When our book arrived I couldn’t wait to show it to the boys. Little N was excited to see that it was a Thomas & Friends book and asked if we could read it straight away. As we began to read the book Little N looked bemused as I said his name. I pointed to the boy in the picture and asked him who it was. His response was “that’s a little boy”, but when I said, “it’s you!” he burst out laughing! “It’s me, Mummy!”
Thomas & Friends You and the Christmas Rescue is a such a lovely book, it’s so magical for young readers to be at the centre of the story. Little N really believes that he is in this adventure, nodding along as I read it, as if he actually did help Thomas & Friends to save Christmas! N loves showing it to his brother, pointing out where he is in the book and explaining what he is up to in the story. It is a really engaging book and it’s a joy to see the boys so delighted by the tale.
Thomas & Friends You and the Christmas Rescue is published by Egmont, who encourage a love of reading by selling over a million books and over a million magazines for children every single month in the UK. As well as the Thomas & Friends Christmas book there are other personalised books available too, including birthday ones.

This looks amazing! Just ordered one with your code for my little cousin! I'm sure I'm going to win all the Best Cousin awards (:
