I bought a book online as Baby's birthday present recently and it arrived today.
Buying a book from the Internet is no big deal. What's special about the book is that it is a book about the birthday girl's name.
Titled 'The Little Girl Who Lost Her Name', the story begins with a girl who wakes up in the middle of the night to find that the name tagged on her bedroom door is missing. She goes an adventure to find her lost name which she herself can't remember.
She meets different animals who might be in need and offers her the first letter of their names each time before they say goodbye.
Eventually, the girl gathers enough letters to spell her name.
Although it is recommended for children four to six, I decided to place an order for Baby to give her a surprise. While it could have been too easy a book for Coco when she was eight, Baby still enjoys picture books immensely although she is capable of reading wordier books.
Baby was intrigued by the book which set her name in print.
She showed it to everybody she met today and asked me to read it to her as her bedtime story.
After reading it, she asked if I could read it to her again!
It was quite many pages for a children's book so I told her I would do it again tomorrow.
She loves it!
I am delighted to have made her a happy girl.
I keyed in the details on 4 October and I opened my mailbox today to a pleasant surprise. I had forgotten all about the book!
The original price is $48.99, inclusive of a $5 Monkey wrapper. With a first-order discount, I paid $41.64.
You get to choose your character from a few choices. My choice was a no-brainer. An Asian little girl would have to have short, black hair.
If you have a little one, do explore this unique option of gifting him or her this personalised book. I didn't think it would be an exhilarating experience for the birthday girl but it made her very, very pleased! She can't wait to show it to her classmates when she goes back to school this Friday!
