Common questions
Can it be read at the party?
Yes. It is short enough to pass round the table, and the story everyone retells has a chapter of its own, so the people who were there can tell it again.
Which photo should I use?
A clear, recent, forward-facing photo. Every chapter draws him from that one picture.
Is there an order-by date?
Only his birthday, which you know and we do not. The production and shipping times for each country are listed on this page, so count back from the party rather than the birthday if they differ.
