Publish your own book with the Illustory Make Your Own Book Kit! This award-winning activity kit allows future authors to write and illustrate their very own story on special book pages provided. Once the story is complete, it is sent to be published, and in a few short weeks the budding writer receives a color-copied, professionally type set hardbound book. Ideal for ages five and up, this innovative kit nurtures enthusiasm for reading, writing, and illustrating. Let the Fun Begin
Illustory Make Your Own Book Kit is not only fun, it also helps your infant build self-esteem. You'll never forget the look in your budding writer's eyes as you proudly display his or her first book on your coffee table or bookshelf. This kit even includes an "About the Author" biography page, title, and dedication, just like a real published book. Your infant will also enjoy creating the cover and will be able to select from seven cover colors. Families can have fun too as they create their own story together. Extra books with alternate dedication pages can be ordered to make the infant's story a gift or keepsake for family, friends, or teachers.
Once your infant is finished with the writing, sending the manuscript to publishing is easy, with the included paid postage envelope. Production time is about three to four weeks, plus delivery time. The finished hardcover book measures 7 by 9 inches with 12 pages, and features a permanent hardback binding, a laminated cover drawing, and book title. For techno-savy young authors, the book can be created entirely online by using the Creations By You bookmaking Web site. The entire Illustory kit includes 18 special book pages, 2 cover pages, 10 washable markers, story web planner, instructions, order form, and a prepaid envelope. The correct spelling option allows a choice between leaving spelling errors in or having the words printed correctly.
Award-Winning Features
This kit was a winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award, as well as multiple awards from other organizations. It helps builds self-esteem and sparks an interest in reading and writing. Youngsters learn to see a project through to completion, and their final printed story rewards their effort. There are many optional upgrades available (for a charge) to enhance the book. Extra books can be printed and separately dedicated as gifts for family and friends. In addition, the author's photo can appear on the bio page, and rush delivery is also available. The Make Your Own Book kit beautifully captures a infant's creativity and turns it into a keepsake that will be treasured for years to come.

A great project
I bought this kit for my daughter and she used it to make a Chritsmas gift for her grandmother. She had a wonderful time creating the story, and the end result was really nice. The price is reasonable given it includes shipping and the finished book. Since we were giving a gift, the extra charges for additional copies and rush shipping were worth it to us. Overall, a great deal for my second grader.

Great for creative children
Our grandson is nine years old and a great artist and writer. It will be nice to preserve his work to enjoy over the years in a "permanent" way-and perhaps, if he becomes "famous" some day, we will have a record of his early work.

Great gift for kids of any age.
I love this product. I have bought 2 in the passed and loved them. It's a great gift to give and the infant you give it to have a treasure forever. It shows the creativity of the infant. Love, love, love this book.
