Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Give your child the thrill of being a published author! Budding authors simply write and illustrate their story using the markers and special book pages included in the kit. We even include a story planner with popular age rated Bible story references and Christian story topic suggestions. The completed story pages are mailed to us in the postage paid envelope provided, or the book can be made entirely online using our Internet drawing and writing tools. In just a few short weeks you'll receive back a professionally typeset, hardbound book your author will want to show everyone! Finished books even include a title, dedication page and "About the Author" biography page to give it a truly professional touch. IlluStory is a multi-award winning activity kit and perennial best seller because few products, if any, can build as much self esteem and excitement for reading and writing. The quality of the finished book is a tremendous value and rewards any level of effort. The Christian Edition, among other things, also encourages kids to think about and express how being a Christian applies to their life. Extra books can be ordered and are the ultimate gift for family and friends, especially since each can be separately dedicated to the recipient. Ages 7 and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great present for Grandpa and Grandma, January 2, 2007

This review is from: Illustory - Christian Edition: Write and illustrate your own Christian-themed book! (Toy)

I purchased this kit to make a Christmas present. I coordinated the kids while they wrote and illustrated a story for Grandpa and Grandma. I paid extra for rush processing and premium shipping. The finished book arrived in about three weeks (not bad for December).

The Grandparents loved their book. And, the kids really enjoyed telling them all about the writing process. The entire experience was very enjoyable.

I bought the "Christian Edition" because it was cheaper. It's basically the same as the regular version, with an added sheet of paper listing some Bible stories as plot ideas. BTW, the kids didn't end up writing a Bible story. Instead they opted to create their own tale from scratch.

I would recommend this product very highly. The quality is pretty good (considering the price). The concept is what impressed me most. It's a great idea that really hits the target.
