It’s all about the girl…and she likes it!

September 24, 2007

My 6 year-old daughter loves to read. We are reading chapter books together but every once in a while she just wants to read a book that is an easy, fun read. These are the ones that she really gets into character when she reads. She likes to include the voices, the intonation and whatever drama she can create to get you into the story.

Enter her new favorite fun read: “Laughing All The Way To School.” Why is this book more unique than her others? Why because this one stars none other than HER! From the Printakid, personalized books for children comes a book that stars Gabriella and her friends. What first grade girl (or boy) doesn’t love to read all about herself and her friends? For that matter, who wouldn’t want a book all about themselves? (Someone should notify Harlequin that they may have an adult series to look into.)

I have seen some books that have personalization. However, those books have always fallen short. They read more as an “Insert Name Here” type of book. They tend to be impersonal with merely your child’s name inserted into a generic story. With Printakid, “the hero resembles your child, bears the same name and has the same family and friends. Even the illustrations look like him or her! The same skin tone, eyes, hair colour and hairstyle are shown.”

My daughter loves this book. She loves to read about her friends, herself and the fun times they have in school when (as the story goes that she chose) the children and the teachers begin to turn into animals! She laughs when her best friend becomes a baboon. She giggles when her teacher and her other friends and the entire school turns into animals. I won’t tell you how she manages to fix it, but suffice it to say that as the hero of the book, she was able to fix this crazy, mixed-up school.

My daughter loved this book so much we immediately went online to buy her another title as well as one for her best friend. Printakid and their personalized books for children are great books for children of all ages. Even if you child has moved on to chapter books, they will get a kick out of being the star and the hero of these books. I highly recommend you look into and get one of these books for your child. They will love it! In fact, I just may get one for myself. They are that enjoyable to everyone.

So go to Printakid, look at the titles and choose one for your child (or yourself) today. I promise you will thoroughly enjoy it.
