Toys and Games Reviews of IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit
Customer Review: This is fabulous!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter received this as a gift. She LOVED creating her story. We had lots of fun together with the planning and the layout and she really enjoyed being able to express her creativity so freely. When the final product, a hardbound copy of her story arrived, she was so excited. Now we read her story often and it is so neat to know that the words and illustrations are her own. We also bought this as a gift for my friend's son (his sixth birthday) and he loved it as well. My daughter recently asked me if we could get another kit so she can make another story. I definitely will get this for her again. It is a wonderful gift and also a great keepsake for years to come.Customer Review: What a wonderful product!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We ordered this kit for our kids last year for Christmas without knowing much about it. Were we ever pleasantly surprised! It is the greatest! It really made the kids use their imagination to write a story and draw pictures to go along with it. Then we mailed the pages in (in the paid envelope that comes in the kit--excellent idea!). When the books arrived, the kids were so excited and SO proud! We had to order extra copies because they wanted to give one to their teachers (for the library) and to their Grandparents. We will definitely be ordering more of these kits. And they would be great for birthdays or other gift giving occasions. A five star recommendation!!Customer Review: Spelling the child's name wrong? Really?
Summary: 2 Stars
I have no qualms about the quality of this product. I just wanted a durable book, and it's durable. It's perfectly fine.
But you misspell my kid's name on the cover and first page? You got the name right on the back credits, why mess it up in front of the book? And multiple misspellings inside too. On one page, the word "hear" appears correctly the first time it is used but then reads as "her" the second time. I made sure every single word was spelled correctly, but Illustory just botched it.
My kid wanted to show off this story that she created herself but now she's embarrassed that her name is misspelled.
A waste of money.
Customer Review: A Wonderful Way to Get Kids to Write
Summary: 5 Stars
This was such a wonderful product. My son had written a story and illustrated most of the pictures. He had difficulty drawing people but we were able to use their website to generate pictures of people for his story. We were also able to use his drawings by scanning them onto the computer then up load them to the website. It was fast, quick and extremely easy. Their website takes you step by step with the process. The best part is when the hard cover book arrived and my son was proud of his accomplishments. This product encourges kids to be creative. Kids get to practice their writting skills (captilizations, punctuation, tenses) and art skills.Customer Review: Ugh, misspelling in final product!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for my 10-year-old niece, and it allowed us a great bonding experience. I was amazed to see how much time she put into developing her story and creating the illustrations. It took us a few months to begin and then complete the project, as it requires a reasonable amount of adult assistance. However, when we received our bound book, I was SO disappointed to see a spelling error, just like I'd seen reported in some Amazon reviews. If only they could "publish" properly, I would give this 5 stars. It'll take a long time to send it back for the correction, so we'll just deal with it. Where it should say "love," it says "lover"!!!
