Customer Reviews

Exceeded our expectations!
This was just a great "craft" project for my nine-year-old daughter. She was able to complete it with very little assistance. She chose to do the on-line version. With this approach, you can add photos, text, and graphics via an on-line interface. The drawback is that you cannot include hand-drawings unless you scan them. Not a big deal for us.
The best part was getting the book back from the publisher. This is included in the price of the initial product as long as you don't exceed the standard number of pages. The book was just great! My daughter was beaming when she opened the package and saw the book. It was very professionally done, making it hard to distinguish from a "real" published book.
Some reviews of "Illustory" have lamented the limited number of pages included, but this was not a real limitation for us. We felt that 15 pages were plenty for the simple book we planned.
I am not really sure what the difference is between "Illustory" and "Pet Story". I'm sure you could write a pet book using the former and a normal book using the latter. There do appear to be slight differences in number of pages included, so just compare the two products if you're considering them.
Overall, a great way for my daughter to be creative and get an awesome keepsake in the process!
