Personalized Picture Book from YourPictureBook.com

We love story time in our house, but sometimes it can be a struggle to get my toddler to sit still long enough to finish the story. Instead of getting bored reading about the same old characters, how cool would it be for your child to read about their own adventures? YourPictureBook.com provides personalized storybooks and coloring books - where your child is the star! Your child's photo and name will be prominently displayed on every single page in one of three stories. You child can learn to count, travel to outer space or even help Noah to build his famous biblical ark! With beautiful illustrations and rhyming prose, your child will see story time in a fun, new, exciting way.

Children are drawn to the strange and unorthodox. Things that adults consider to be ugly, children consider to be treasures.

What began as as a drawing on the bottom of love letters, is now a children's collectible phenomenon. Babies, toddlers, preschoolers - even older kids - are gaga for these weird "monsters".
