Stop the reading battles, give your child a personalized children's book - review

No matter how often I stress to my kids that reading is a fundamental part of their daily lives, some days it can be a battle to get them to sit down with a book. Common complaints that I hear are that the book is boring, they can't relate to it or I would rather play. Over time I have developed some strategies to get them more interested in reading books. One fun way is to find books that incorporate their own name.

Of course, a book about the aging of cheese with Matthew incorporated into the storyline probably will not get the best response. But, the combination of my child's name and beloved characters will keep them reading well beyond the 20 minute nightly requirement.

KD Novelties offers an assortment of books that can be personalized with your child's name, age, gender, hometown and more. Each book comes with a special dedication from the giver as well.

My son Matthew has the Looney Tunes inspired book Off to See the Wizard. The story starts with references to family, our hometown and of course, Matthew mentioned on the first page. Then the Looney Tunes characters start their antics and the fun begins. The language in the story is easy enough for a first grader to read on his own. From start to finish, the premise of the story is engaging and makes for a fun read. Needless to say his 20 minutes of nightly reading flew by.
