One-of-a-kind personalized books from Story Time For Me makes the perfect present; Get 2 free multimedia kid's books


Children today are learning much faster than we did at their age. In this fast-paced world you have to keep learning, or get left behind.

As a grandmother, I don't want my grandchildren to be behind other kids, so we constantly try to find them things to help them learn. Story Time For Me is one of those things. It makes learning fun.

Story Time For Me is a multimedia site for toddlers and children in early elementary school, that narrates stories with animation, music, and sound effects. There are 50 storybooks to choose from.  

Mom and dad read online, so why not the kids? Story Time For Me allows them to read and listen to books online, and they'll never know they're learning.

In the stories for toddlers (ages 1-4), the child can click on words in the story to activate a picture pop-up. This teaches children word associations and increases their vocabulary.

Creative Art Activity
I love it when the kids can be interactive. At the end of the Ben the Mouse episodes, there is a fun activity for them to do. They're challenged to use creativity, then share their creations online with Story Time For Me. Children can upload pictures of their artwork to the Art Gallery and include their name, age, and picture of themselves.

Personalized Books
This is my favorite. I buy books and videos for my grandkids where they are the star. But, the books and videos use one pose of them and it's used throughout the story.

Story Time For Me offers a one-of-a-kind animated multimedia personalized book. Children can be the star of their own book. In the samples, you'll see how the child is animated throughout the book in different poses. And the the narration, sound effects, and music are very professional.

Access to personalized books
Registered members of Story Time For Me, will see their book under the ‘My Library’ tab on the ‘Stories’ page. It's easy to share your personalized story with your family and friends by clicking a button to email or post your story through your Facebook or Twitter account.

How to send photos of your child
After making a purchase, you or the recipient of your gift receives an email link to create an account. Select which personalized story you wish to purchase, then fill out the form. Follow the steps to upload three pictures of the child in different positions.

You may take the pictures from any standard digital camera and then upload them to the website. Within two weeks, you will receive an email notifying you that your story is ready and online for viewing.

The personalized books to select from
There are 7 personalized storybooks to choose from, including one especially for babies. Imagine seeing your baby crawling around in a story. Or why not give as a gift to someone you know having a baby?
