    I hope it comes. :rolleyes:

    This was posted a couple of weeks ago. I think you have to text stop so you dont start receiving any junk texts, but I'm going to wait till the book comes before I do that. ;)
  • No offence to OP but this is utter rubbish - it arrived today and is a "book" in the loosest sense of the word. More like a card pamphlet and has gone straight into recycling.

    AVOID.

    Yep I agree, not the OP's fault as bookstart normally give good freebies in packs. I cant see a child having any interest in in whatsoever its got no colours and doesnt look like a book.

    In fact I'll read it to you all.....

    On day just before bedtime, a mummy and a little boy shared a book together....

    But the bed flew out of the window......

    Into the jungle....

    round a mountain...

    under the ocean.....

    and back again. Her baby thought it was the best magic ever. All this excitement made the little boy fall asleep.

    The end

    Hardly an incentive to buy more books, i expected one like we got in the 8 month check bag. :rolleyes:

    The other thought I had mookie was that the "A" Level English syllabus just isn't what it used to be, is it??

    Arrived this morning, I was disappointed at the book (its really a leaflet) but my 2 year old thought it was great. Going to make it into a colouring book tomorrow. :j
    :j Survey sites are boring but points add up if you persist with it - Great way to save up for xmas! Quidco is brill, watching the money pile up. Every penny counts !! :T
  • Got our "book" this morning, I thought it was rubbish, but my 20 month old made me read it several times to her so who am I to judge :confused: Mind you, the free aquafresh book is also one of her favourites and she shouts "nurdles nurdles!" when she brushes her teeth so I'm not sure has a very refined taste in literature:rotfl:
