Has anyone got any of these? Can you recommend a decent one, with good stories and interesting plots? For a 6yo who can't yet read properly, but loves being read to and has excellent understanding well above his age.

DS has one, and my sisters kids have a few between them. All gave very lame stories, that don't even hold the interest of a 3 yo. Sorry! Is there a "mainstream" book where the main character has the same name as your DD?

Only a Terry Pratchet - and I don't think he's quite ready for that!

They always tend to be a little formulaic. Because you give child's name, sibling names, where you live and up to three friends.

I did n't deliberately name DS after a well known welsh fireman, but it does help in situations like this.

DD has the name of a fantastic Roald Dahl character - I'm good.

I bought one for my niece when she was 6. They were in a gift box and you picked which story eg Puss in Boots, and then they get to insert their name or names of friends and rellies, I think by computer. Amazon do them-a company called Gift Republic I think. Think the books are ladybird, very retro looking. Good luck!
