Personalized Children's Books for Kids: MJM Books Review & Giveaway
Saturday, August 01, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
Most kids love books and Lucas is no exception! Story time is one of his favorite moments of the day! When MJM Books came to me about reviewing their adorable personalized children's books, I was so thrilled because I KNEW that Lucas would flip out over it! MJM Books actually uses your child as the star of the book by naming the main character after your own child. What's unique about MJM Books though is that you have the option to change the APPEARANCE of the main character to look more like your own child. Choose options such as hair color, eye color, and skin tone to make the main character resemble your child! So, now not only will your child get to hear and see their own name in their book, but the main character will look like them too! Very cute.
MJM Books offers three different titles to choose from--we chose If I Were Big. You also have the option of adding a personal inscription to the book. We had Lucas' book inscribed with the message, "You will always be our baby. Love, Mommy and Daddy" The story itself is SO CUTE and funny--Lucas LOVES it and not just because he is the STAR, but also because the story is silly and literally cracks him up! What I love the most about the book is the illustrations--they make my heart go pitter patter {LOL}. It is beautifully illustrated with a very vintage-retro feel. You'll love it!
Want It: MJM Books can be purchased online and retail for $15.95.
