YourPictureBook.com (Festive R&G)

I've reviewed 3 personalized books so far but none has struck such a special chord in our family as the one we received from YourPictureBook.com

What makes a YourPictureBook.com book different from the other personalized books? I guess just one prominent feature....the inclusion of my child's picture on each page of the story to make her presence in the story literally larger than life!!

I chose Bunny girl's all time favorite to be our book of choice- Noah's Ark and oh my, what a treat the book is!!


In the story, Bunny girl gets to assist Noah with the huge task of building the ark and later gets to climb aboard with all the animals. Oh and how does she enter the ark?.....Sitting on an elephant's back...in style, like a little 'Maharani' (little Indian princess)!
While on the ark, Bunny girl becomes a friend to the animals and helps Noah look after the huge floating zoo on hand.

The story encourages a child's faith in trusting God right from the first page till the end. I initially thought the Christian teaching part would be watered down to make the story fun but I'm so glad it wasn't.

Bunny girl loves her 'Noah book' and thoroughly enjoys looking at the pages with her on the elephant's back, stroking the goat, feeding the horses and playing with the animals. After all, which little Noah's Ark fan wouldn't want to be in this much loved story?!!

This is definitely one book I will always treasure and keep safe to read to Bunny girl's kids years from now....it's one of those keepsakes, without a doubt.

Is ordering a book easy?

Easy peasy! Just provide your child's name, gender, birthdate and a clear photograph of your child...that's it! You can also add in your own little personalized message in the book, to add that extra special touch.



YourPictureBook.com presently has three books up for personalization:
