Personalized books for kids ages 3 to 6

Three to six is the age of 'again'. A child this age recognizes themself on the page, notices every detail, and asks for the same story every night. When the hero has their name or their face, they ask a little more.

The books

  1. Afraid of the dark (ages 3 to 6): Bedtime becomes an adventure playground. For hard bedtimes.
  2. Big feelings (ages 3 and up): They learn to recognize anger, fear and joy, as the hero of the adventure.
  3. Superhero (ages 3 and up): Cape, mission, and their real face on every page. “That’s me!”
  4. The Land of My Feelings (ages 3 and up): A glowing otter takes your child to the land of their feelings: anger, fear, sadness and joy each have a face, and every one of them has a job.

Books for what a 4 or 5 year old is living

The best personalized book is not a classic tale with a name swapped in. It is a story about something the child is going through. Here that means big feelings (The Land of My Feelings), noises in the dark (What Is in the Dark), a lovey that has gone missing (My Bunny Is Missing), a baby on the way (The Little One Who Is Coming), a birthday morning (The Morning of Your Birthday) and Christmas Eve.
