 Time well spentFeb 02, 2010
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.

Extremely Satisfied!!!Jan 31, 2010
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!

Best gift ever!Jan 31, 2010
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.

GENIUS!Jan 30, 2010
The littel girl I bought this for LOVED IT, she is constantly writing these adorable stories on paper and hanging them everywhere for everyone to read, so the thought that she could write her own book she was speechless! & Its awesome because you can get mulitiples made, send them to grandparents, aunts, god parents, etc... Just another great item that lets kids imaginations grow, I loved it.

Inspire Your ChildJan 25, 2010
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?
