"I absolutely love these books. Fantastic keepsakes."
This is a wonderful book to celebrate a child's all-important first birthday!
It celebrates the many things a child can do now that they have reached the age of one. These include splashing in the bath, playing peekaboo, going to the park, clapping their hands, feeding themselves and crawling, walking or bum shuffling.
There is a boy's and girl's version of this book and each activity is accompanied by an illustration featuring the child. There is even a Milestone Diary at the back of the book where parents can write in the date and details of when their child achieves different milestones. This makes the book a special memento of their early years, as well as a fun and engaging read.
- Personalisation: The book includes a special message from you to the child, the date of their first birthday and the name of a friend. The child's face is incorporated into the story 12 times and their name 22 times. Because children learn to walk at different ages, customers also have the option of selecting either 'walking' or 'crawling' or 'bum shuffling' for one of the illustrations.
- Quality: 32-page perfect-bound book with full-colour gloss cover.
- Size: 21 x 28 cm.
- Binding: Available in paperback (£19.50) or hardback (£22.00)

"These books make great gifts or keepsakes for your children but.... I purchased this particular book recently as the hardback option and was slightly disappointed I have to say! The pages of the actual book are very easily ripped and seemed not as good quality or durable paper as the Softback books seem to be, not great when your buying for a One year old! May I add I have bought many books over the years from this website and have never had a complaint and have always been happy with my purchases. Next time I will make sure I stick to the smaller book option. Still a good product!

"I have used ItsYourStory a few times before and really like the books that I have received from them. They are usually delivered in good time with no hassle and are of good quality. This time, there were a few issues with delivery but being able to speak directly to someone about it meant that these issues were resolved quickly and easily and I still received my book on time. One issue with the book when I received it was that some of the pages seemed to have been bound quite tightly making it difficult to turn the pages, but I am hoping that this is more to do with the fact that it was a brand new book and after a few reads it will be ok. Overall, I really like dealing with IYS and will continue to do so. "
