-CLOSED- I See Me! Review & Giveaway



I was so excited when I got the opportunity to review a book from I See Me! I have wanted a personalized book for our little man for a long time and I have looked at countless sites for personalized books. I See Me! really stood out to me, not only because of the option to do a virtual tour of the book, so that you can make sure that you are getting the perfect book for you little one, but, I loved the illustrations as well as the fun, sweet and touching stories that they have.

I See Me! books was created by Maia and Allan, a husband and wife team whose "...mission is to increase self esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. The goal of our books is to show each child how absolutely unique and special he or she is, to teach the child how to spell his or her name, and to build vocabulary skills."

I chose the "Who Loves Me?" book for our little man and it is just perfect! The illustrations are beautiful and they actually remind me of an Eric Carle book a little (little man LOVES Eric Carle books!). I also loved the story- we had it personalized so that the story would read how much all of his different family members loved him. To me it is a sweet reminder of how much our family loves him, even though they may live far away. I love reading it to him and telling him how much each and every member of our family loves him! I also think that the rhythm and flow of the book is perfect to keep my sons attention span (at 12 months, that is no small task!) and I also think that as he gets older he will continue to enjoy it as he can easily remember the rhyming sentences and read our families names and remind himself that they all love him so much. This will definitely be a book we will treasure for years to come!  
 
  
The "Who Loves Me?" book is written by Jennifer Dewing and illustrated by Maria Carluccio. It is 8.5" x 8.5" and is a hardbound 20 page book.  The pages are very high quality and they also seem very durable, which is a big plus with a 12 month old little boy who likes to turn the pages all by himself! :) You can "flip" through the pages HERE if you'd like to take the virtual tour of "Who Loves Me" and read the sweet story. 

The book is just about infinitely personalize-able! We personalized it to have little man's full name and the date he was born on. Then underneath that it says, "We Love You! Mommy and Daddy, 2010" You could have any number of sayings in your own book though. I See Me! books can be personalized for any number of family members or friends. This would make a wonderful Christmas or birthday gift for any child or a special baby shower gift!

  22. I love the I See Me idea of compiling the child's art into a book. What a GREAT way to save all those drawings piling up in the closet and in boxes.
