A great alternative to a chocolate advent which was appreciated even more. Great quality and could be used again and again. Would definitely recommend.”
Another happy shopper shared: “My daughter is loving the mr and miss books and this was on offer , it’s lovely has a different Christmas book each advent day and is quality , you can keep the books as they are hardback.” A third added: “Bought for my 4 year old. We really enjoyed the daily, fun stories. The ‘mini’ books are complete stories and still have decently sized font so fine to read.”
However, one person who was less satisfied warned: “The books are lovely little stories, however they are difficult for little hands to remove from their slots, and difficult for the reader…..concentration needed!” Another said: “Books are tiny and really flimsy, but they all full length stories.”
