My little goblin loves a good book! (But what kid doesn't?)
So I was thrilled to receive Aksel's Halloween Adventure, a personalized story, courtesy of First Time Books.
But the novelty only goes so far, folks.
Grant it, the story is delightful, and I know my boy will enjoy reading it in years to come, I don't think the product is worth $20. And we're just talking softcover.
(A hardcover copy costs $30.)
As a point of criticism too, I really think publishers/editors should modify the cover name font. I felt Aksel's name was diminutive in comparison to the rest. If I purchased this book for my child, or as a gift, I would be disappointed in how generic it looks.
On a positive note, I'm thankful to share this story with my little bug, at my favorite time of the year.

I thought, "Spoo-ooky! A story starring Aks. How cool!"
Not to mention, I was tickled to include, as characters in said story, names of Aksel's closest friends.
