Unique book for kids

I purchased two of these books for boys ages 8 and 9. These are clever books that engage kids that are a deviation from electronic games. I will buy for my twin nieces when they are a little older.

I bought this for my 14 yr. old gamer grandson and he ABSOLUTELY loves it. The best gift ever! Thank you uncommon goods. Glad I saw this advertised on 3rd hour.

Great gift idea for kids that are hard to buy for!

We gifted it and I haven't seen the finished product yet, but my nephews were excited and my own kids were jealous, so we may be ordering more in the future!

Perfect Gift for Kids

#sweepstakes I bought two of these for my twin nephews. They run a little bigger than usual so I went with a slightly bigger size. It fits those big 7 year olds perfectly! And of course they love them.

Brings out the joy!

I offered this to a meticulously artsy teenager who adored it! Just the right balance of something whimsical and fun for anyone who has a fun and youthful spirit. Great quality and such a unique gift for anyone who has a sweet tooth!
