HERE COMES THE BOOKS!
I love it when Mr. Postman comes knocking at the door to bring some deliveries. As committed, the book arrived in less than 10 days (Delivery of confirmed paid books is within 7 to 10 business days).
The book is wrapped in bubble-wrap – although it is not fragile or breakable, it is a good practice to wrap it carefully as to avoid scratches and dents in the cover.
True to what the website has described, the books are glowing in vivid color. I felt a sudden hint of envy to Lhana and Mackoy… They have their very own personalized storybooks!

Being a bookworm and collector that I am, I carefully checked the books’ spine and pages as if I am buying a book from my favorite bookstore. The books are hardbound which means it can last for many years, and can withstand the excitement of the kids owning the storybook. The pages are glossy, with colorful illustrations, and even the font stands out in every page.
When I opened the first page, the book greeted me with the basic information of the book recipient (based on the information I provided) giving a more personalized experience for the kids.
You remember upon ordering, you can choose a message from the drop-down selection. I love that Look It’s About Me is able to accommodate my additional personalized message – I added the Your Look-Alike in the signature field (since I was able to convince my niece that we do look-alike and to make her feel that the people from Look It’s About Me did their research just to give her this special storybook).
I couldn’t wait to read the story and to see my niece’s name printed in the book. I am surprised that Look It’s About Me not just printed her name in the story line, but also put her name all over the book – in different illustrations and pictures! I cannot count how many times my niece’s name appeared.
And look here, I am also part of the story!
I wish to win the best supporting actress!
Mackoy and The Great Space Race storybook is equally brilliant.
I love that the story line is perfect for the boys (think of spaceship, racing and competition) and the illustrations serve as a unique ingredient to piece together a wonderful imagination to the kids.
Hands-down to the Look It’s About Me team.. from the brilliant minds Tatiana and Kathleen, to the illustrators, writers and staff. It gives a whole new reading experience to the kids.
What I love most about the books are the lessons in each book. Look It’s About Me is not just about having a kid’s name printed on the cover and the pages of the book, but telling them stories – their own stories that gives important lessons such as importance of teamwork, fair competition and love for nature (I am sure the other storybooks have more lessons to share). Since the storybook puts them as the protagonists, it makes the child embody the values and positive attitude being portrayed by the character in the book.
