What We Believe

Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Personalized copies of books do excellent gifts for relatives

The Bad: Complicated instructions and publishing options

In a Nutshell: Creative children will definitely be thrilled at becoming a "published" author
At a Glimpse

Ages: 7 and up
Put in writing, Color, Publish!
Parents will have to read the instructions carefully to help children make and mail in their book for publishing. There are several important rules to follow, such as strict word countes per page. One time you've helped your kid comprehend the rules, all they have to do is color and put in writing! There are "cover pages" and "story pages" provided, together with extras of every in case of mistakes -- a thoughtful touch.

The kit consists of 10 markers, but children can in addition use their own. When it comes time to publish, the diversity of options parents will be faced together with can be confusing. They are all covered in the instructions, which are relatively clear, but you may have to read them a couple times throughout to fully digest them.

Excellent Gifts for Relatives
Though children can only put in writing one story per kit, they can put in writing personalized dedications for every book they order, which makes their published books excellent gifts for grandparents and other relatives. The "Concerning the Author" section is sure to be exciting for your kid, particularly when they see their own photo. And while younger children will love the act of coloring and writing on the pages this are provided, older, computer-savvy children might enjoy the option to make their book online -- an option this lets your kid get published faster!

Watch Out, Stephen King!
We really appreciated the more cover and story pages this were provided in case of mistakes. The "Story Web: Plan Your Story" page is a nice aspect too: it provides children a fast lesson in storytelling while encouraging them to plot their story out before writing. The capability to make your book online is very cool. But our online strive to make the cover illustration got sadly foiled by a technical error. There was no explanation of what it was or how to fix it, either. On the other hand, the physical kit, together with its excellence, old-fashioned paper and pens is simple to use. In addition, when you mail the story in for publishing, the postage is free!


What's in the Box
Instructions, story web planner, two cover pages, 18 book pages, order shape, 10 broadline washable markers, and postage paid envelope.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Time well spent   2010-02-02
By A. Wessol (Bozeman, MT)
I bought this product for my six year old daughter for her birthday. We enjoyed every minute creating it. Not only was it fun for her to write and illustrate, she also learned a lot about the creative writing process, especially how to organize her thoughts. The final book turned out very professionally and the turn around time was quicker than we expected. I'm showing off her first publication to all our friends and family.

By Happy Customer!
Purchased five of the "IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit" projects for Christmas. Two kits for my own children and three for my nephews. My children were very excited to get started on theirs and we already have the finished product (the actual book) back from the Creations by You company. They LOVE their storybooks that they personally created and I will cherish these forever! Thank you "Creations by You" for coming up with such a wonderful idea!

By Wendy Bayer
This has been my daughter's favorite gift of all time. She drew all the pictures, then dictated the story to me. Her face, when we received a hard-bound real book in the mail was priceless! I'd like to do one of these every year. You can't pick a better gift than this one.

By Terri (San Jose, CA)
My son was very excited when he received this as a Christmas gift. He loves to read and draw and is quite imaginative. I thought this would be a fun project for him. I let him create his story and illustrate at his own pace. It certainly wasn't something we completed in one sitting. He really enjoyed the process. Once we sent it out, we received his bound book about a few weeks later(a lot faster than anticipated).

My son was over the moon and thanked me profusely when he received the final product. It looks great! Nicely bound with wonderful reproductions of his artwork and accurate text. He is so proud of his work. He took it to school to read to his class and we've read it at home just about every day since he received it. He is especially tickled by the "About the Author" feature at the back of the book with his photo and personal information - just like in a real book.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this project and what a great creative, educational and self-esteem building experience it has been. He's dying to do another one... how can I say no?
