This is such an awesome idea. . . a book starring your child! MJM Books creates stories that are adorable and totally customizable so that your kid can be the main character.
I would have absolutely loved one of these books when I was a kid!
I got to order the book If I Were Big for Kirsten. The rhymes and rhythms make the story really pleasurable to read to her, and she thinks it's so great to see pictures of herself as a giant and all the things that would happen if she were big. The story has a great message that being small is just the right size, because it's the perfect size to fit in Mommy and Daddy's arms. :) It's such a cute book!

Each of their books is customized with your child's name, and you can also choose the gender, hair color, eye color, and skin color of the main character! It was super easy and fast to go on their website and customize a book too. It only took me five minutes! And I love how you can also enter a special message that will be printed in the book.
The retro-inspired images are beautiful! Here's an example of what one of my pages looks like:

I love the company's motto. . . "Making Reading Fun!"
This is something I've really struggled to do with my two year-old, as it took a LONG time for her to show much interest in books. Now she loves reading stories before naptime and bedtime, but it took a long time to get there! I'm sure that when she gets older and learns to read, she'll love even more having a book with her name in it and a story all about her! This would be so perfect for an early reader!
Another thing I love. . . all of their books are printed on 100% recycled paper!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood book was a book about a little girl and her very favorite doll...who wasn't as pretty and new as all of her friends' dolls. Grrr...can't remember the name of it but I had my mom read it EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. She saved if for me in my hope chest so that I can read it to my girls. Hmmm...need to get that from her since now I have girls to read it to! :)
