The Illustory: Make Your Own Story book kit falls into what Toys “R” Us calls the “Designed By Me” trend of popular toy-buying trends for Christmas 2010. This kind of Christmas gift or toy allows parents (or others) to support the creative efforts of kids who love to write, draw, or otherwise make their creative mark upon the world.
Illustory may be one of the 10 best Christmas gifts of 2010 for anyone on your Christmas shopping list who enjoys flexing their creative muscle and would appreciate knowing that you think their creative productions are important and talented enough to be preserved for posterity. As much as kids love to have their artwork hung on the refrigerator in recognition, imagine the book to their self-esteem that would come from knowing that you believe their work is worthy of publication in a beautiful, colorful, hardback book.
If you were a child who dreamed of being able to create your own books, or who did create your own books by sewing the bindings with string or staples, you’ll be excited to discover that Illustory – Make Your Own Story gives children today another option. Using the Illustory kit and the Creations by You publishing service, your kids can have a hardback book created from their own writing and drawing. Imagine their pride in creating a book that could be given as a gift to family members or kept on their shelf as the first “published” work from a soon-to-be world famous author.
Illustory Make Your Own Story Product Description
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.
Illustory Make Your Own Book Kit is not only fun, it also helps your child 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 child 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 child’s story a gift or keepsake for family, friends, or teachers.
Once your child 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.
