Featured Post for October 28th - Your Picture Book


I always love it when the kids make the gift that they give me. It has so much more meaning knowing they spent so much time on it and put that extra love into it. It is always a gift that will be remembered and will hold many memories. The same goes for children - they love seeing themselves in a way they have not seen before or maybe in something they dream about doing. Your Picture Book has taken personalized books to a new level. Your child will not only hear their name, but see themselves on every page. Before adding your child's picture to the storybook illustrations, they digitally convert the child’s photo to appear as a painting. "This gives a seamless blending of child and illustration that looks almost like the child and illustrations were painted together."
The book being featured in this post is the one they sent for my youngest daughter. She absolutely loved it. She loves playing teacher and uses this book almost daily to "teach her students" their numbers!
Your Picture Books are reasonably priced for a personalized item starting at $34.95 for hard cover, but you can always go with soft cover for $8 less. Their coloring books start at only $14.95, and DVD's start at $29.95. For the holiday season they have "My Christmas Adventure" personalized DVD. Your child will be the star when Jack Frost sets out to ruin Christmas. Packed with bonus features, this 30 minute action packed DVD features the child's face in full color throughout as they become one of Santa's favorite elves.

Pros -
  • A gift that has deep feeling, holds many memories and will be loved by all
  • Simple wording and easy for the kids to read
  • Personalized picture blends right into the book
  • Reasonably priced
  • Available in hard cover, making it last longer
  • You can personalize the inside of the book for no extra cost

Cons -
  • Not many options available (you have three book choices)
My daughter gives this 5 stars out of 5 stars! She uses this book almost everyday to play class and reads this book more than any other book she has.

    Looks like a really fun gift. Not sure I would pay that much though, for the hard cover. I can see why your daughter loves it!

    I've always thought that these are great esp since my child has a non traditional name.

    I've always loved the types of books that are personalized for your child!! I wish they were available when I was little, but I'm glad that my niece and nephew and godson are able to enjoy them. Maybe if these become really popular they will make more options available.

    Thanks so much!!
