Frecklebox product review.
I was able to get and choose from some assorted personalized books for one of my nieces.
I chose a book that would put Susan's name in the whole story, "Susan and the unicorn.'

The book is extremely well made, the pages are good and sturdy, bright and vivid colors, cute little drawings, nice stories.
Susan's name is throughout the entire story, it's mentioned on almost every single page.

It's a cute little story abut Susan meeting a unicorn and the adventures they have one day.
They go play in the clouds, in the flowers, the unicorn lives behind the rainbow, and then Susan ends up back at home in her bed after taking a nap in a bed of flowers while the unicorn watches over and protects her.
It really is a cute little story, I just wasn't so sure about the ending.
When Susan wakes up after her nap back at home and tells her mother all about her adventures, her mother doesn't believe her.

As an atheist, I don't believe in unicorns either unless I ever see one for myself, but I feel that rather than just telling your child you don't believe the story they just told, you should just nod and smile.
A negative response to a child's imagination tends to hinder the imagination.
I do like the story though, I do think it's very cute and well done, and I would definitely order from them again.
They do all kinds of personalized gifts from coloring books to personalized party favors and posters, and growth charts too.
All in all, I think it's a great little book, made very well, with a cute story that will make a child feel like they are really part of it all.

Comments
Very cool! I bought a "personalized" book for my niece a few years ago and it stunk. It was supposed to have stickers that you could put in the book with your kid's name but they didn't send them!
I am so getting some books from this place.

Thank you for the suggestion of this book - it can be so a tough route trying to find the right book these days - everything seems so grown-up
