Guide
Personalised Christmas books for your child
Story Time is a shelf of picture books with your child and their family in the story. Each child's first book is free. Children spend coins after that. Pounds stay on the grown-up side.
The first book
Every child's first Story Time book is free, one per child, and at most four free books for a family. The first-book offer sits with Elf Club and above.
A grown-up chooses the child's name. The shop keeps a stable number for that child. The story uses the family a grown-up has saved.
More books
Further books from the shelf cost 200 coins from the child's purse. Children see coins, not pounds.
A grown-up can buy a shelf book for £1.99 in Grown-ups, behind the PIN. A designer book, a one-off story about anything you choose, is £4.99 and is for grown-ups only.
