Buy the Illustory Book Kit put have patience!!!, January 21, 2008
By Brent Mckinney "brentfence" (Olympia, WA Earthquake Central)

I just finished helping my daughter complete her first Illustory Book about her pet kitty. I only paid $5.93 on Amazon in December for the
Illustory Pet Story. Now it seems to be more expensive. My daughter is age six and wanted to use real photos of our cat so we decided to use the online version. You get to type as many words per page as you would like and the first 15 double sided pages are free. I think it took me about 2 hours just to figure out the software and how to upload my digital photos to the book. I was using a Mac and I was very frustrated at times. I said a few bad words. My daughter seemed to enjoy the process very much. Go figure. You submit the complete book online and pay the $3.95 return book shipping fee with a credit card. I thought this was going to be included in the kit price, but was it not. They say they online version speeds up the production time. We are patiently awaiting for our masterpiece to arrive. Next time, I will have her draw her own illustrations on the paper forms and mail it in. I think it is more charming that way.(More Toys…)

Creative Writing: In A Box, January 20, 2008
By C. M. Foote "Rachel Marie" (Foster City, CA USA)

IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit was an extremely fun process to go through. while you write your own story, and draw your own pictures, you get to send it in an d have it made into a book. Not a published and public book a hardback, just for you, friends, and family book! It is very fun again. I highly recommend it for children ages 5-12 but it can go higher (or lower if the handwriting is legible).

Gratzi
