The Great River Race — image 1

Cheer your child on as they take on the Great River Race, building a raft from a heap of riverbank junk with nothing but a sketchbook full of ideas and a heart set on winning. When the first proud raft sinks and the second one only spins in circles, your child discovers that real success comes from failing, looking closely, and building it better. This warm, beautifully illustrated adventure celebrates resourcefulness and hard work, carrying your child from a muddy setback all the way to a roaring finish line. Perfect for inspiring young builders, makers and tinkerers to keep going when things go wrong.

The illustrations are beautiful, but what impressed me most was how much it actually looked like my son. I'd expected something quite generic, but it genuinely felt like he was part of the story.

Bought this for my nephew's fifth birthday instead of another toy. His mum messaged me later saying it was the first thing he wanted to show everyone. Definitely a gift I'll use again.

My daughter has asked for this book every night since it arrived. She loves finding herself on each page, and I love that it's become part of our bedtime routine.

I wasn't sure how well they'd manage to make it actually look like my grandson, but they really nailed it. He spotted himself straight away! Such a lovely keepsake.

The ordering process was much easier than I expected, and the finished book feels high quality.

Bought this after seeing an ad and wasn't sure what to expect, but it's actually gorgeous. My little girl hasn't stopped talking about it since it came.
