 SO much fun -- and a book to keep forever! September 20, 2006

I am a teacher of 3rd and 4th graders and love this product. The students have a great time creating their books -- they love that they can make their own choices, using their own names, friends and family, pets, etc. -- and the stories are more personal and fun than any other book they have.
To get to print the stories and have them professionally bound is such a treat. We can make a group book and then save it in the classroom for all future classes to read.
The kids also want to make their own books to give to their grandparents for the holidays.
As their teacher, my favorite part is that they learn so much more vocabulary along the way. It's just such fun and the kids are really being immersed in a total reading and writing environment. Highly recommended!!

In reading the description, I was expecting that it would guide a child in writing their own book. NOT SO. It just has a story written out, and blanks for the child to fill in. It is NOT their own book. My daughter, who is 9 years old, is very much into writing and has written many chapters of her own imagination. I thought this product was going to help her fine-tune it and guide her along proper techniques and examples of how to perfect her writing into a book that she can be ready to publish. So, beware. This program is already a story written, just fill in the blanks.
So FUN! October 21, 2006

Think Adlibs...you are asked to contribute to a story and get to be creative. Then you read the chapter you've just worked on. I loved this so much. I ordered it to do with my daughter but she's in bed and I'm still playing with it.
Very educational. Fabulous gift for Christmas
 Disappointing! January 15, 2007

As my daughter enjoys reading and writing stories, I thought this program would be fun. But to my disappointment, she didn't like it, as all it was is a fill in the blank program, and the program writes the story for you.
8 year old son loves this software! December 26, 2006

We purchased this software for our 8 year old and he loves it! He spent all Christmas day working on the computer writing different stories and editing them. I sat with him for over an hour writing several chapters and had a blast doing it! Reading through the finished story we wrote together was hilarious and we will be writing many more I am sure. It's a great educational tool because he learned several words like "enslave" that he didn't know. We look forward to ordering one of his future stories in hardback. I would recommend this software to anyone with a child who is an avid reader. Easy to use, easy to setup.
