Has anyone brought the 'Santa clause is coming to (insert your home town) book available on amazon and whsmiths.

If so how good are they?

They are fabulous!

Ours has loads of little local towns and landmarks mentioned, and the illustrations are amazingly appropriate. Even my non-reading toddler will recognise that it's 'home'.

I'm planning on reading it on Christmas Eve, or at some point during Advent.

I'm looking for this on amazon but can't find it... Can you do a link if possible? Sounds great!!

If you type in
Santa is coming to
In books on amazon it brings up the whole list available.
Nice book, we bought one.

yep - there is also a colouring London one which is very cute, I think better quality too.

Boo they don't have my home town, but so have my county, wonder if ds would recognise enough places?

Patchouli · 25/10/2013 22:22

I was thinking about that too - the county one.
I wonder what the 'Santa Claus is coming to my House' one is like. It'd be nice if there were options to send our own landmark names.

I risked it and bought the Santa Claus is Coming to Lancashire book. It's lovely :) it mentions our home town/ next door city at least 4 times as well as other places that ds would recognise like Blackpool. I'm very pleased with it :)

I wasn't going to get one as I thought it was too general, regional rather than our Town. However I saw it in Smiths and our Town gets loads of mentions, as do places we have been with the DC so I got it.

ragdollismyname · 25/10/2013 22:56

Olibeans can I ask, does the Lancashire book mention Bury? Have been looking at it on Amazon but really don't want to buy it if we don't get a mention! TIA

PamSco · 25/10/2013 23:52

I got mine from Welly Bob through Amazon - LOVE it. |I'd say about 25% town specific but funny specific not the obvious stuff.

LentilAsAnyFUCKERthing · 26/10/2013 00:12

I saw ones in a local shop for our town, so I was able to have a quick flick. I liked it until it started mentioning some children's names in the text, and I felt it would have been much better not to have done this, it spoilt it completely for me.

olibeansmummy · 26/10/2013 07:22

ragdoll I'm not sure! but I'll have a look when dh is up ( presents are hidden in our room and he won't appreciate me crashing around at this time of day!) and report back...

Barbeasty · 26/10/2013 08:49

The Book People rep brought the Bristol one into the office yesterday, so I assume they have them too. It looked quite good.

WaitMonkey · 26/10/2013 09:21

We got one last year. and think they are really good.

ragdollismyname · 26/10/2013 15:37

Thanks olibeans. Hope it does. I like the idea of it.

Santa comes to the Channel Islands.
