What Makes It Uncommon

Put It In Print

Got a creative kiddo? Show them just how far their imagination can go when they turn their own original story into an actual book. Have them fill out the included papers with their words and illustrate them with the included pack of markers. Then, slip the pages into the pre-addressed envelope and pop it in the mail. Their hardcover debut will arrive in the mail soon after, bound and printed on real book paper just like their favorites. Start clearing space on the bookshelf now. Made in North Carolina.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Time will tell

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my soon to be 7 aspiring writer grandchild. She is very much into journals and writing stories so I think this will be something just for her! We'll see how it goes!

Grandson Loves It!

My 6 year-old grandson is excited to be creating his own book! My son created one when he was 5 years old, and was extremely proud to received his hard-bound book in the mail. This was a wonderful way for him to see where his imagination can lead him, and to experience the feeling of accomplishment that comes from completing a project from start to finish.

Not just another toy!

I chose this for a grandchild who has tons of toys, which he outgrows or gets bored with. This ' Publish your own book kit' is a fun way to spark imagination & creativity. It will be a delightful, lasting memory of this time in his development . Just love this alternative to just another toy.

The perfect gift to encourage young authors

As grandparents and an aunt and uncle, we were excited about having our granddaughters and nephews create their own books. But the best part of Christmas was watching the reactions of the kids when we explained to them what the gift was all about! They couldn't believe that they would be able to get their book published! So cool!!

This book is a keeper! I would definitely buy again

My daughter, who is 10.5 years old is working on her own book! She loves this gift so much. It has given her a project where instead of racing through it, she is taking her time. She cannot wait to finish her personal story so we can ship her pages back and receive her hard bound book. She will soon be an author! Thank you for making an affordable, creative, hands on project for anyone to enjoy.

Are the pages front and back? And does every page have a space to color/illustrate a picture or are some just lines for writing?

Verified reply from Allison

The kit includes 20 pages and for one side only. There are blank pages and some pages are split with an area for the drawing and lines under it for written words.

  • undisclosed

Can you place the drawings and content where you want them on the page or does all the content have to be on the lines on the paper?

Verified reply from Allison

There are two types of blank paper included. One has a large area for drawings with lines below for writing. If you'd like to just have a drawing, you can leave the lines area blank. Also included is a large empty page for your cover!

  • undisclosed

Can you order more than one copy of the printed book?

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! The kit includes one printed book we do not have an option at this time to purchase additional copies.

  • Ohio

Can my grandson type his story on the computer & after printing pages, attach to the pages provided.

Verified reply from Allison

The publisher does not recommend taping anything to the paper. The company scans the pages and any paper that is taped will jam the scanner. They'll return those pages and won't complete the book.

  • undisclosed

What size is the finished printed book?

Verified reply from Allison

The finished book is "7 x 9".

  • Tennessee

Can photographs be attached and used for the pictures, rather than drawings?

Verified reply from Allison

Hi there! When the maker receives a kit that includes photographs, they may not be able to scan it properly. They state that it's best to only include their own, original artwork and text in the kit.

  • NC

Do you have to use the markers that come with the kit or are you able to use your own markers, colored pencils, watercolor, etc. for the illustration pages?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! Per the maker: You are more than welcome to use your own markers. We just do not recommend using pencils, glue, glitter, or tape on your kit pages.

  • Healdsburg, CA

Is this a hard or soft cover finished product book?

Verified reply from Amy

Hardcover!

  • Massachusetts

Do children need to know how to read, write, and draw well to enjoy this?

Verified reply from Amy

We recommend this kit for ages 4+, but we recognize that children develop these skills at varying ages. The creation part of this kit involves writing words and drawing on blank sheets, so it is up to your discretion whether you think it is suitable for your favorite little one!

  • Minnesota

Hi - is there a recommended age for this product?
