My first impression of Ann's Personalized Books was wonderful - the book we received was very professional. It truely was a "real" hardback book featuring my son and his friend. The book we chose was "The Firefighters Hero", which is a story about my son calling the firemen to come put out a fire, then getting a tour of the fire station.

When we first sat down to read the book, I pointed out to my son the first page where his name, age, and dedication was. It took him a minute to realize this book was exspecially for him, but when he did he was thrilled. His name also appears on every page of the story, which kept him interested. He was also interested in the story line itself, which is not all that short. Even still, he was very interested in this personal story.

Ordering from Ann's Personalized Books is very easy. All books are categorized by type or age group, plus you can view all the books available. Even Disney titles can be found! All books are hardback, although less expensive soft covers are available as well.

Each book can be read before purchasing, to see where and how your child's name is used in the story. Once you decide on a book, the first step in the ordering process is filling out their very detailed form for personalizing the book.

Most books come with the following personalization:

- Child's name
- Friends name (1-3, depending on book)
- Child's age
- Dedication (example: "From Mom")

In addition to personalized books, personalized Story Book CDs and other gifts are also available.
