I received both books personalized for my boys for review. First of all, I'm impressed with the fast and easy ordering process and the amount of personalization allowed for each book. You can not only personalize the books with your child's name, but you can also add her photo and a special dedication message. I'm also very pleased with the premium printing quality and rich contents of the books. The Book of Animals for instance, features beautiful photos of each wild animal alongside quick facts about its size, diet and habitat. Fun questions are raised to keep the young reader thinking and exploring. The books go beyond educating the kids about animals and dinosaurs by encouraging the kids to get creative. On the final pages, your child can mark their favorite animal or dinosaur characteristics, and draw themselves as their favorite animal or dinosaur. My boys had tremendous fun reading and interacting with the books. You can order them for your child through the links above or wait to win them from the contest!
