Chance and I have been reading to Finn since he was born. I actually have the most adorable photo of him and his dad when Finn was four days old smiling as Chance read him a Dr Seuss Book.
Now to this day Finn absolutely loves reading books and can spend hours in his room on his beanbag just powering through all of his favourites. At four years of age he is already reading many of the words in the books and his vocabulary and articulation is wonderful, which I think has a lot to do with reading and listening.
It’s also a really great way of just spending time with Finn without any distractions, where I can just absorb his inquisitive nature as he asks me questions and teaches me new things about life.
With reading already a special bonding time for us, I was super excited to introduce Finn to a new book this week featuring him in it! What little kid would not love to see his or her own name in a book that they get to read along with mum or dad?!
The Little Boy Who Lost His Name is a personalised book from Lost My Name and is such a wonderful concept that I think every child needs one. It takes a few key points to make a children’s book really successful and popular with both kids and parents and Lost My Name have ticked all the boxes. The pictures are bright, colourful and inviting, the sentences are short yet captivating and the story is entertaining.
As the name suggests, the story follows a little boy who has lost his name and he is on a magical journey to find it. Along that adventure he comes across different creatures who offer up letters that eventually spell out the little boys name. In our case it was of course, FINN.
I absolutely loved how well they had personalised the story, with the letters along the way building up suspense until the final page where he finally saw his name in big capitals. The look of pure joy on his face when he read his name was priceless and it made it really special. We also got to personalise the little boy to resemble Finn as close as possible so he could really imagine it was him in the story.
Another great feature of this book was how easy it was to order and how quick the whole process was. I jumped online to https://www.lostmy.name/ and chose the book I was after. I then put in Finn’s name and picked his gender before choosing the character most similar to him (little blondie). I then personalised the dedication (another great element of the book) to come from us and it was done.
It’s fair to say I am already an advocate for this book because I know how much Finn loves reading and the fact I could make a story all about him made it really special. At $39.99 (and free shipping worldwide!) the book is great value for money because it offers plenty of pages, is great quality and has a really engaging story-line. Of course, the personal features also make it worth every cent and it can be adapted for both boys and girls.
Lost My Name also have an intergalactic book now available that involves an adventure in to outer space. I know Finn will adore that as he is obsessed with the solar system.
With Christmas coming up, this book would make the perfect addition to under the tree! Delivery is usually between 5-10 days for Australia so jump online now to https://www.lostmy.name/ and order your book in time.
