Toys and Games Reviews of IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit
Customer Review: Wonderful gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son (age 7) got this kit as a gift. He decided to use it to write a story from my dad's life, and to give the gift to him as a present. My son spent hours carefully crafting the story and the drawings. The whole kit was completely easy to use, and it unleashed his creativity. It's very simple to put in the text and do the drawings.
The book came back today, and it's BEAUTIFUL. The production was fast and the book is hardbound in a high quality binding. Because I published a book in hardback, my son really wanted a hardcover binding---and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between this one and the one that came from my university press! I was in tears when I opened the package, it is so gorgeous. My son is going to be so proud, and my dad is going to be so choked up when he gets this Christmas morning.
It's a great kit, and it's worth every single penny. It gives kids the pride of authorship. What could be a better educational experience?
Customer Review: Wonderful Creative Option for Kids

We purchased this for our kindergartener for Christmas. She enjoys creating her own stories and this allowed us to capture that process for a keepsake - mis-spelled words and wild illustrations included. The binding looks great and the colors of the illustrations were bright. The final product was not a disappointment. We plan to have her create a new book at the end of each school year to chronicle her creativity and development -until she gets too old to be willing to do it. I gave it a "4" for fun because it required us to assist with the process - and that decreased her sense of independence in the process. Next year it will be a "5" because we won't need to help her. I purchased several extra kits this week to give as birthday party gifts for her friends. We love that this gift reqires no batteries and is limited only by her imagination.Customer Review: We love them!

Our son has written 2 books with Illustory already! He loves seeing the words that he writes typed onto the pages (by the company) and the drawings he does come out beautifully printed on the book. He is so excited and proud of himself when he shows his friends, family and teacher his publications! The book even comes with an About-the-Author page just like real published books! Everything that you need to write and draw is provided in the kit and the instructions are very easy to follow. In just a few weeks you get back a real hardcover book! The experience was so terrific, we plan on having him write a book each year so he can see how much his writing changes year after year. And just as soon as his new baby sister is old enough, we'll start her writing books with Illustory too. The books are a great family keepsake. We love themCustomer Review: Move over Harry Potter!

Thank you for carrying this terrific product. My kids love to read and one day my son told me he wanted to write his own book someday. I saw this kit and thought I would give it to him to try. The process was simple. He wrote his story, added pictures and we dropped it in the mail in the postage paid envelope (which was great-by the way) that was included in the kit. My son actually forgot all about it and about 2 weeks later our mail carrier knocked at our front door with a package addressed to my son. I can't even describe the look on his face when he took out his book. He looked at every detail and couldn't wait to show everyone his masterpiece. He has written several books now and I enjoy seeing his progress unfold. I highly recommend this kit to any parent that has a child even remotely interested in reading or writing. What a value!Customer Review: Great book writing kit for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this kit for our almost 6 year old granddaughter, who likes to tell me what to write for a story. When I saw the kit on Anazon, I knew it was for her. She absolutely loved it. She told me what to write and then she drew the pictures to go with the words on each page. I then ordered four books - one for my granddaughter, one for each set of grandparents, and one for her teacher.
The quality of the book was excellent. She just finished kindergarten and told the teacher at the end of the school year that she wants to write another book this summer. So, I purchased two more kits for future projects. First book has a yellow over. She wants to write a book each year and will probably choose a different color for the cover of each book. She is so proud of her book that was authored and illustrated by her.
