The tiny critics
Reviews from our harshest readers.
We’re brand new, so we won’t pretend to have thousands of reviews. Until real ones arrive, here’s what our imaginary panel of very small critics has to say.

Questions
Before the first page.
Everything parents usually ask, answered plainly.
Who is a tinytale for?
Children from babies up to about eight years old. The stories are built around the moments that matter at that age: starting nursery or school, a new sibling, big feelings, and learning to try new things.
Can I see the character before I pay?
Yes. Upload one photo and you’ll see your child as a storybook character for free. You only pay the £29 when you’re happy and ready to order the book.
What happens to my child’s photo?
It is deleted the moment the character is made. It is never kept for anything else and never used to train AI.
Is a person involved, or is it all automatic?
A real human checks every page of every book before it prints. If something isn’t right, it doesn’t go to the printer.
What exactly arrives?
A 32-page, 25 × 20 cm landscape picture book with a hardback feel, printed in the UK and written just for your child, with your child as the illustrated hero.
How long does delivery take, and what does it cost?
Delivery is free anywhere in the UK, and books arrive in 5–7 working days.
What if it arrives damaged?
We’ll reprint it or refund you. Just let us know.
