Excitement! Adventure! You!

Custom Personalized Children's Story Book

Funky Chicken The hero of the The First Adventures of Incredible You is adventurous, unique, and confident--just like your child. And you'll have the chance to win one at the end of this review.

This personalized storybook by Custom Made for Kids describes our Baby growing into exactly the sort of child we hope and expect she will become.

Seamlessly integrating friends and family, local fun spots, and other favorites into lively rhymes, the tale describes the everyday adventures of a happy and active child. The questionnaire provides context, so the verse feels natural.

We loved that there was plenty of room in the story for all of the grandparents, plus several others. Each episode fit at least one relative or friend perfectly.

Vibrant, groovy, and jazzy illustrations compliment the story and evoke a magical world. My favorite page has a funky chicken rocking out beneath a disco ball. We personalized this page with Baby Diva's godfather, a musician, who just jammed with her on the keyboards last weekend.

Books are a perfect gift for young children because they engage the mind and always come in the right size--and this one is tailor-made. Meant as a keepsake, The First Adventures of Incredible You is a special gift for an extraordinary child--sure to be cherished for years to come.

I love how the story is so tailored to the person it is about. This is a book that will be a fun read for ages, not just while the child is in that reading stage or likes the illustrations, etc. This book is a keeper, I wish I had one of these about me when I was little!
