Great interactive book & keepsake




What better way to involve your children in reading books than to have them fill out a book of short funny questions about themselves? I bought this for my niece when she was able to write her alphabet & check boxes. All her relatives had fun asking her questions & helping her fill it out. Her grandpa drove her around his small town to get signatures from a neighbor, a relative, a postman, a man over 6 feet tall, a man with a moustache, etc. I found out what her favorite friends, colors, foods & pets are. She answered how she acted when she got mad & how bad she felt afterwards (she added several exclamation points after checking that box). : ) She drew a picture of a bird & named it after her little sister.

It helps to give this book to a child when he or she will shortly be returning home because the book asks you to count windows, doors, forks, & faucets in the house. (It helps practice counting, too.) It's not really a rhyming book in the expected Dr. Seuss sense, but it has a nice mixture of questions, boxes to check, & pages to draw. As a hardbound book it makes a great keepsake. I'd unequivocally recommend it to anyone.

Encourages children to find out about themselves, while having fun writing and drawing their own biographies.
