Easter Gift Idea: Personalized Children’s Books from I SEE ME

Easter Gift Idea: Personalized Children’s Books from I SEE ME

Personalized Children's Books from I SEE MEIn 1998, husband and wife, Allan and Maia, received a personalized book as a gift for their first son. They loved that the book was personalized, but thought the illustration could have been better and the story could have been more customized to their child. So in May of 2000, after a year of active product development, I See Me! was created. Allan’s and Maia’s goal for their first book, My Very Own Name, was to produce an educational book that would teach young children how to recognize letters and spell their names. Today, you can customize over 100 different titles! Their mission is to increase self-esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. The goal of their books is to show each child how absolutely unique and special he or she is, to teach the child how to spell his or her name, and to build vocabulary skills.

ABC What I Can Be!

Your child will have fun learning all the different careers in the alphabet that he or she can be, from an Astronaut to a Zookeeper. This personalized book builds self-esteem by showing your child at an early stage that with effort and determination, your child can be whatever he or she wants to be. Illustrated with a unique retro style, the book is cleverly personalized in the text and throughout the illustrations. When ordering, customers have the option to upload a photo of their child to appear on the dedication page of the book. Children love seeing their names and photos in print! Written by award-winning author Jennifer Dewing and illustrated by Colin Jack, this 8.5”x 8.5”, 24 page hardcover book is sure to become a favorite with boys and girls ages 2-8.

Sisters, brothers, and best friends will cherish this personalized storybook that features them on every spread. Children will delight in the way their twosome is compared to popular word pairs — hello and goodbye, peanut butter and jelly, thunder and lightning, sunshine and rainbows, and more — throughout the text. And in the charming illustrations by Sally Garland, you can customize both children’s appearance by selecting their gender, skin tone, and hair color. Personalize your own special dedication to the dynamic duo, and this storybook is sure to be treasured by both children for years to come.

Thoughts about I See Me!

I absolutely love the products that I See Me! offers. I’ve used their website many times to purchase personalized books for my nephew, so I was super excited to have the opportunity to get to review not one, but two other titles. I chose to create a book for my nephew Chase and my best friend’s kids, Parker and Mackenzie. My best friend Lauren is an Elementary School teacher and I am a Librarian. We are always looking for new titles to add to our libraries. Books are the best gift because they will always last and as school teachers and librarians go, we strive to instill a love of reading into our children’s lives. So what better way to invest in your child’s future than with their very own personalized book?

I had the opportunity to give my nephew his ABC What Chase Can Be! and he absolutely LOVED it. As soon as he got the book he sat right down on the couch and flipped through the pages. I love how this book shows that kids can be whatever they want to be, and as a parent, teacher, librarian or relative that’s all we want.

Kohl’s Cares – Easter Gifts That Give Back Spring 2016 Collection

Kohl’s Cares – Easter Gifts That Give Back Spring 2016 Collection

Kohls Cares Children's Books
* This post is in collaboration with Kohl’s. Several complimentary samples were received in exchange for this post.

It’s hard to believe but Easter 2016 is only a few days away. There is still time to head to your local Kohl’s to pick up some fun Easter gifts like these books with plush animals from the Kohl’s Cares 2016 Spring Collection.

Kohl’s is offering books from renowned author/illustrator Leo Lionni and soft toys priced at just $5.00 each, with 100 percent of net profit benefiting children’s health initiatives nationwide. The Kohl’s Cares collection is available at all Kohl’s stores nationwide and on Kohls.com now through early April.

As you all know…I’ve got 2 adorable grandchildren to love & spoil and we received 2 of the books and 2 of the plush toys to check out for all of you. Let me tell you upfront, these items are absolutely fantastic!

A Color His Own Children's Book

Book Title: A Color of His Own
Author: Leo Lionni
Publisher: Random House Kids
Collection: Kohl’s Cares
Synopsis: In this charming color-concept story, a chameleon discovers that friendship is just as important as having a color of his own.
My Thoughts: This is a hardcover children’s book that is absolutely adorable! I love the story line and all of the illustrations are beautiful and brightly colored. One of the things I like about this particular book is that it features a lot of different animals and helps teach your child their colors. It’s a very easy-to-read book that is entertaining from start to finish.

It's Mine Children's Book

Book Title: It’s Mine!
Author: Leo Lionni
Publisher: Random House Kids
Collection: Kohl’s Cares
Synopsis: In this timeless fable, three little frogs discover that sharing is more fun than selfishness.
My Thoughts: This is a hardcover children’s book that is just as adorable as the first book that we reviewed. This one features the story of 3 little frogs that learn all about being selfish and how it’s better to be a giver, than a taker. Just like the first book, the illustrations are beautiful and colorful and the story line is entertaining from start to finish.

Along with each of the two books that we received for this review we also got the matching plush animal to go along with it. These plush toys are super soft and are a nice size…the perfect size for your child to hug and love! I love that as a grandparent…I can get beautifully made and written books from Kohl’s and their Kohl’s Cares program and have the option of picking up the matching plush toys for $5.00 each. That’s right, $5.00 for each book and $5.00 for each plush toy! Wow,  affordable gifts that any child would love!

You can find several titles of the books via the Kohl’s online store but if you want to see a bigger selection of what’s available, head to your local offline Kohl’s store. Easter is just a few days away, but you still have time to pick up a few of the books and plush toys from the Kohl’s Cares 2016 Spring Collection.
