Product Description
Publish your own book with the Illustory Make Your Own Book Kit! This award-winning activity kit allows future authors to write and illustrate their very own story on special book pages provided. Once the story is complete, it is sent to be published, and in a few short weeks the budding writer receives a color-copied, professionally type set hardbound book. Ideal for ages five and up, this innovative kit nurtures enthusiasm for reading, writing, and illustrating.
Let the Fun Begin
Illustory
Make Your Own Book Kit is not only fun, it also helps your child build
self-esteem. You'll never forget the look in your budding writer's eyes
as you proudly display his or her first book on your coffee table or
bookshelf. This kit even includes an "About the Author" biography page,
title, and dedication, just like a real published book. Your child will
also enjoy creating the cover and will be able to select from seven
cover colors. Families can have fun too as they create their own story
together. Extra books with alternate dedication pages can be ordered to
make the child's story a gift or keepsake for family, friends, or
teachers.
Once your child is finished with the writing, sending the manuscript to publishing is easy, with the included paid postage envelope. Production time is about three to four weeks, plus delivery time. The finished hardcover book measures 7 by 9 inches with 12 pages, and features a permanent hardback binding, a laminated cover drawing, and book title. For techno-savy young authors, the book can be created entirely online by using the Creations By You bookmaking Web site. The entire Illustory kit includes 18 special book pages, 2 cover pages, 10 washable markers, story web planner, instructions, order form, and a prepaid envelope. The correct spelling option allows a choice between leaving spelling errors in or having the words printed correctly.
Award-Winning Features

kit was a winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award, as
well as multiple awards from other organizations. It helps builds
self-esteem and sparks an interest in reading and writing. Youngsters

story rewards their effort. There are many optional upgrades available
(for a charge) to enhance the book. Extra books can be printed and
separately dedicated as gifts for family and friends. In addition, the
author's photo can appear on the bio page, and rush delivery is also
available. The Make Your Own Book kit beautifully captures a child's
creativity and turns it into a keepsake that will be treasured for
years to come.
