Okay, let's just start by saying third party orders can be tricky in my experience. At one point I was really frustrated because I did not think that my order was being processed...etc...etc! Finally I spoke directly with the owner/seller and all was well. These books are really nice. My nephew, who is just beginning to read, loved having his very own story. In fact the idea of having his very own personalized adventure really excites him and encourages him at reading time!
