As a parent, grandparent or loved one in a child's life, you probably understand how important it is to encourage children to discover a love of reading.

Many of us can remember the joy we felt when reading about the amazing adventures of Tom Sawyer, or the first time we were introduced to Christopher Robin and Friends.

With modern day distractions, such as Television and Video Games, instilling a love of reading in your youngster may not be as easy as you hoped.

Personalized Children's Books are a must for any child's library. Whether your little one already adores books or is just starting to learn to love them, a personalized children's book will quickly become one of their favorites.

When we tell people that we publish personalized children's books, we often receive one of two responses:

1. "I had a personalized children's book as a child. In fact, I still have mine!"

2. "Personalized Children's books? Aren't those the books with the kid's name in them?"

We are delighted every time we hear the first response. Personalized children's books are wonderful keepsakes, and we love hearing from customers who have kept their books throughout the years.

When we hear the second response, we actually get a little excited because we realize we are speaking with someone who has never really seen a personalized children's book. If they had, they would know that it is MUCH MORE than just a book with the child's name.

In a personalized children's book, your child will be absorbed into a story like not other book can do. Whether it is learning to count with Elmo on Sesame Street, helping Scooby Doo and the Gang solve a mystery, or meeting Humpty Dumpty and Mother Goose, your child will actually become the main character of their own personalized story book.

These hardcover keepsake books include the child's name, age, hometown, friend and/or relative's names and much more, all interwoven into a wonderful story. In essence, each book allows the child to become the main character or "STAR" of the story.

Unlike other personalized children's books, our personalized books are high quality fully printed stories. Inferior personalized children's books on the market use sheets of stickers, which are placed over and nearby the pre-existing storybook text to produce the "illusion" of a personalized book. Our personalized children's books contain no stickers or handwritten information. All personalized information is printed at the time the story itself is printed.
