Illustory Product Reviews

• We bought Illustory for our 10 year old grandson last Christmas and he LOVED this creative gift. He is interested in animals and he wrote a book about 'dangerous' animals. He had a great time doing it. The finished product is great. His parents had another copy of the book printed and sent it to us as a gift. We will always cherish it!

• Illustory is fantastic! I am an elementary school teacher and use your product in my class. The kids love the completed books.

• My 7 year old received Illustory 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 dedicated a second copy 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 her friends can check out her book. I highly recommend this as a gift to anyone.

• I enjoy what you do for children like me. I think Illustory is a great idea. I like how you give extra pages so if you mess up.

• I know Illustory is meant for children, but I decided to buy it for myself. I am writing stories about my childhood that I am sending to my grandchildren. It is a wonderful way for them to get to know a little about me and have something to keep to remember me by. I love it.

• Our daughter Nicole just received her book "Amy, Joey, and the Cat" in the mail and I don't think I've ever seen a happier six year old. My wife just called me at work so I could hear Nicole doing her Daffy Duck dance of joy. I thought she was about to pop.

• Now that Thomas has received his finished Illustory book, he sees a blank page as a creative opportunity, not a threat.

• As a teacher, I had to buy this gift for my seven-year-old niece. She loved making her own book, and the finished product that they send you is very professional looking, like a book that you would purchase from a store. My niece loves her book and shows it off to everyone - she even took it to school and got to read it at storytime. This is a great educational activity that really gets children to be creative, and they love it. Buy it for all of your favorite kids!

• This is a fabulous kit! Our daughter had a wonderful time writing her story. She felt so special when the book came back in the mail all bound and printed.

• Last Christmas I purchased Illustory kits for my niece and nephew. While we are already close, this gave us the opportunity to spend creative time together. Well when the books arrived in the mail, I had to sit down and let you know what a treasure these books are to us. The finished product exceeds my expectations!

• Ordered the kit so my 7 year old son could transform a story he wrote into a keepsake book. He loved the process and the final version is exceptional. It is possibly the first step on a long and successful career.

• My 8 year old daughter is not the princess/fairy/doll type of girl. She'd much prefer to write a short story. So my search began, and ended, with this product. For a child who loves to write and draw, what better gift could they receive than the ability to publish their very own hardcover book? Something that they - and you as the parent - will cherish for years to come!

• I wanted to tell you how much I like Illustory. I made one book and am working on another one. They were two of the best gifts I have ever had!

• My ten year old son got this for Christmas from his grandparents...he LOVED this so much! Not only the fun of creating his own story (which of course was based around Star Wars), but the anticipation of receiving his book, to finally getting it and reading it to us as a family and then taking it to school. There were kid's in his school that thought he was famous...he thought it was cute. Anyway I highly recommend this toy...very educational, kids get to use their imagination and have a finished product to share and cherish for years to come. Can't go wrong here...in fact I may end up getting some kits for my other boys.

• Back when I was an aspiring author, my parents bought me one of these for my 7th birthday. It was probably my all time favorite childhood gift, and I still have it somewhere. I look back and laugh over the funny things I wrote and my terrible artistic skills. It was about a girl whose mother left her in an orphanage that locked her in the attic. I can't wait to give one of these to my own daughter in a few years!

• I have had each of my children make their own book using the IlluStory kit. They love to look back at their artwork and story year after year. It is a great keepsake. We now give them to friends for birthday presents so that they can make their own books too.

• My son is now working on his second book - after last year's success, we will be doing a book every year (he's 6 now). The end result is more worthwhile than virtually any other gift he's gotten. The look on his face, seeing his name and story and pictures put together in the beautifully bound book... I'll never forget it, and I never have to. It happens every time he reads HIS book! Highly recommended.

• This is by far the best gift I have ever given my daughter. She loves her book so much and loves to read it to other people. We had copies made for her grandparents and they treasure her book also.

• Thank you for carrying this terrific product. My kids love to read and 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!
