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.

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!

 Fun to do and receive it back bound! 2010-08-25 |
| By Janmarbon |
I, shamefully, bought this for my son Christmas 2008 and just sent it in a month ago. I had no idea what to expect back but was pleasantly surprised at how the pages were nicely typed and the quality of the book itself. I didn't realize that they simply cut down the pages that were drawn for the book. Not that it was bad, just not what I expected. The dedication page and about the author page are an excellent addition!
My son is 10 now and really wants to do it again but "make it better" this time. My five year old looks forward to doing it for the first time this Christmas.
I think purchasing this book every year my children are willing to do it will make for a fun collection to look back on and see how they and their interests have grown.

 Great book writing kit for kids 2010-07-26 |
| By LJ Leder |
I bought this kit for our almost 6 year old granddaughter, who likes to tell me what to write for a story. When I saw the kit on Anazon, I knew it was for her. She absolutely loved it. She told me what to write and then she drew the pictures to go with the words on each page. I then ordered four books - one for my granddaughter, one for each set of grandparents, and one for her teacher.
The quality of the book was excellent. She just finished kindergarten and told the teacher at the end of the school year that she wants to write another book this summer. So, I purchased two more kits for future projects. First book has a yellow over. She wants to write a book each year and will probably choose a different color for the cover of each book. She is so proud of her book that was authored and illustrated by her.

| We love this book! 2010-07-20 |
| By L. Riley |
| We created our book online (you use the code from the kit to get your online book.) My daughter loved picking out all the colors, backgrounds, clipart, etc. We spent a couple weeks creating it, a couple pages at a time. When it was shipped to us I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. One page had some colors that were wrong (not what we had created) and I called them and they immediately fixed, reprinted, and sent us a new one. I was very pleased with the customer service! I just ordered two more to give as birthday presents. |
| We Have Many of These! 2010-07-18 |
| By Jami Rill |
| We first bought this as a gift for my oldest son when he was five. We all still enjoy looking at that book, as well as the others we have purchased and have had published since then. My kids ask for this kit for their birthdays and Christmas and it's so easy to do. |
| Best Gift Ever! 2010-03-28 |
| By J. Davis (Chehalis, WA) |
| I bought this item for Christmas for granddaughter who loves to draw, and is exceptionally good at it--she is 7 years old. She enjoyed it so much, I have ordered her a second one. I plan to do this about every 6 months, so she can make her own library which she can keep forever. This is a great product, and I highly recommend it. We ordered the upgrade extras that you will learn about when you buy this kit. Grandmothers, this is the perfect present for our precious grandchildren that they will enjoy reading over and over again. It is also a fun way to document their growing talents over the years. |
