Product Review: Personalized Storybook CD
Build reading skills while playing with these unique
personalized storybook CDs from Ann's Personalized Books.
While personalized books make a fantastic unique gift for any
child, Storybook CDs help bring your child even further into the
story by adding animation and play time. Each CD features a
personalized story with your child and their friends.
In between each page you read, there is the opportunity for the
child to click on the pictures on the page to see what sound
they make or other animation. This helps keep them more
interested in the story and wanting you to read more. You can
easily read through the story several times and still find new
items to click that you may have missed before.
When you finish the story, there are also games to play. This
bonus adds much value to the CD, because it provides hours of
fun for your child, with or without you. Another important part
of the CD is the three reading levels, so whether your child
isn't reading yet, or has been reading for several years, these
CDs have a level just for them.
Each Storybook CD has a sample text page and sample animation
page to let you try the CD a little bit before you choose which
one to buy. Once you decide on a CD, the first step in the
ordering process is filling out their very detailed form for
personalizing the book.
Storybook CDs come with the following personalization:
- Child's name - Two friend's names - Child's age - Dedication
(example: "From Mom")
Several different CD Storybooks are currently available for both
boys and girls. The CD we got was "Too Many Monsters", which at
first I was afraid was a bit too scary for my 5yr old. I quickly
discovered it wasn't (although he did jump a few times at some
of the animation), and found him laughing the entire time.
