Children deserve better than this.
Received My Book of Nursery Rhymes as a gift. The gift giver felt a little swindled, but my review concerns the overall quality of the end product.
It's home printed on a fairly thick matte paper, but doesn't feel particularly quality, nor like it would withstand a couple of flick throughs without crumpling and deteriorating.
The book is mainly padded out with royalty free nursery rhymes, with only 5 sparse original 'personalised' poems... and they are terrible. Questionable rhyming schemes, beyond clunky sentence structure, no regard for metre, and all-round bad English.
Remove the personalisation USP and the book has zero appeal compared to a better quality book of nursery rhymes. It sadly does feel like a bit of a grift.
Edit: Real person here. Created an account because I don't normally find products bad enough to bother leaving reviews. Replying with aggressive and defensive responses is an awful look.
