Toys and Games Reviews of IlluStory Make Your Own Story Kit
Customer Review: Great to Teaching Reading and Writing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great opportunity to engage your child in an uninterrupted discussion about a particular topic. Your child will learn to organize his/her thoughts on paper; thus creating a story. These are excellent skills for beginning readers and writers.
I am using this opportunity for my 6-year old son to create a book for my husband's 40th birthday. He has to think of a title and the sequence for a story entitled, "Why I love my dad". It was also my gift of choice for Chanukkah and Christmas to other 5 and 6 year olds.
Customer Review: Love this product!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 7 year old received this as a Christmas present. She was so excited to write her own book, we added the about the Author page and she wrote and illustrated the story. We bought one book for our family and the second book we dedicated to her school teachers and gave it to the school on Teacher Appreciation Day with a note that we wanted the book to be placed in the library. Now all of my daughters friends and others can check the book out of the library and they love it!
I highly recommend this as a gift to anyone.
Customer Review: mom for educational fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one for my 7 year old daughter who absolutely loved it, so I bought one for my 6 year old son. She loves showing it off with family friends and even at school. My son is just starting to work on his but is excited after seeing her finished product.
The hard book cover seems durable but only time will tell if it says in good condition, so I gave that catagory a 4 star.
I have since bought my now 8 year old daughter more of these and she still loves it. It never gets old for her.
Customer Review: Not so great second time around
Summary: 3 Stars
I was so happy with this product a few years back when my oldest son made his book. The instructions were simple and the final product was exactly how he had illustrated it. Unfortunately, I think the level of paper or the production of it has slipped since then. My other son made his and the pictures from one page show through to the next page! He was a bit disappointed because it didn't really look like a professional book because of that. It's still nice to have as a memento, but still a bit disappointed.Customer Review: Great idea, but end product is not very good.
Summary: 2 Stars
My son made an illustory book. He did a great job with it and when it was returned, it was great to receive, but they had just cut the actual page he colored, printed the text with a computer and bound those actual pages together! I was quite shocked. He had published his own, beautiful book with [...] and it is much, much nicer, plus it's his own handwriting (or it could be typed). I love the idea, but with all the book publishing companies out there now, so they need to do a much better job with the publishing.
