Put Me in the Story 

Put Me In The Story is a new personalized children’s book site offered by Sourcebooks. What makes these personalized books so different from the others already on the market is that these are some of bestselling and award-winning books from Sourcebooks. To be honest, most of the other personalized books I've seen have been pretty blah. 

Browse the selection here to see all titles offered. I love that they included some books we already own and absolutely love, My Dad, My Hero by Ethan Long.  My Name is Not Isabella and My Name is Not Alexander, would both make ideal personalized books. We chose More Bears by Kenn Nesbitt, as he is one of our favorite authors.

Ordering is pretty painless: choose your book, supply the child's name, inscription, and three photos. The best part is that you can't move forward until all the necessary information is complete. That makes it foolproof. And believe me, this fool tested it. I didn't realize you needed three photos and tried checking out after loading just one. Best of all, you can see a preview of the entire book online complete with your information, page by page. So before you press the order button, you feel confident about how the finished product will look.

Our book arrived less than a week later and it was perfect. The photo was clear, the inscription was correct, and the personalized book made the most amazing baby gift. The entire experience was nothing but positive, and I would absolutely order again from Put Me In the Story. Actually, we'll definitely order again - because I think these personalized books would make fantastic Christmas gifts.

We’re Having A Baby

Change is Strange
Ricki Booker; illustrated by Selena Kassab

Reading We’re Having A Baby to your child is a great way to introduce him or her to the impending arrival of a younger sibling. This is a story about a little boy named Charlie Change, who is told by his parents that they will soon be welcoming a baby sister. Upon hearing the news, Charlie is worried about the changes to his family. His parents reassure him that although things will be different, no one will take his place.

Charlie is excited to be a big brother when his little sister, Daisy, arrives. However, he soon decides that the baby is not fun: “She cried. She ate. She pooped. She slept.” Charlie does not like this change to his family. After his parents enlist his assistance with Daisy and praise him for his helpfulness, Charlie starts to enjoy being the big brother, declaring “I am Super Charlie, the super brother!" The book ends on a sweet note with Daisy smiling at her big brother and him returning her smile.

This book presents a realistic picture of the arrival of a new baby and the changes that will occur. The last page of the book even contains “Helpful Hints for Parents” on preparing your child for the arrival of a new sibling.

Change is Strange offers books designed to help children transition through big changes: We're Moving?, Mommy and Daddy are Going on a Trip, My First Day of School and No More Pacifier. The books tackle, in a light-hearted way, the fears and questions that are likely to be expressed or felt by your child by each event. To make the stories extra special, you can have each book personalized - your child will co-star alongside Charlie Change!
