Family Keepsake

"Mommy, tell God to stop taking my picture... I can't sleep." Adam, Age 3 (during a lightening storm) When my mother showed me her notes about my childhood, I was very amused and could not believe she took the time to write down my first sentences and experiences of the world. She didn't have the luxury of this beautiful book! Your children will appreciate this tiny book when they become adults or have children of their own. As your child discovers their exciting new world, they will say some pretty funny things. Some parents have even taken to writing down everything their teenager says. The front cover is a photo frame. You might want to paste a picture onto a piece of paper and then slide it into the cover so you can position the picture exactly. Throughout this well-crafted book, you will find a variety of "question pages." These can prompt "wit and wisdom." Some of the pages include questions like: "What will you be when you grow up?" "What's the prettiest thing you've ever seen?" "What's the best secret you know?" "What does mom always tell dad?" "What could everyone do to make the world a nicer place?" The "My Dictionary" section is a special place to record words not found in any dictionary. You can record the words and their origins. "The World According To My Child" gives you a place to write down all the funny, witty things your children say. It is a lasting keepsake that will soon be filled with your child's wisdom and humor. If you love this concept, you might also want to look for: "Holiday Voices: Recordable Keepsakes." They are Christmas ornaments you can keep on the tree or on the mantle. You record voices in "true sound" that can't be accidentally erased. You can re-record as often as you like. You decide which message you want to keep and it won't be lost or recorded over by mistake. ~The Rebecca Review

Guaranteed to be a cherished family keepsake!

How many times has your child said something so irresistibly cute, and you've told yourself 'I should write that down'...but never do? Or if you do record those gems, is it on so many scraps of paper and store receipts that a shoebox or drawer is overflowing? As a mother myself, I'm guilty of both, which is why I was glad to find C.J. Rilly and Suzette Tyler's new book "The World According To."The cover of this beautifully hardbound book features a slot to add your child's photograph. The interior lined pages are perfect for recording your little one's dreams, jokes, tall tales and epiphanies on the world you both share.With ample space for written descriptions, the journal offers provocative questions that will inspire a veritable biography. Thought-provoking questions include: What's the best thing about you? Is there anything that you used to be afraid of but you're not anymore? If you could have anyone in the world as a friend, who would it be? What's the hardest thing about raising children? Are you hard or easy to raise? If you were to take a spaceship to the moon, what 3 things from home would you make sure to bring with you?"The World According To" is the perfect means for preserving your child's unique thoughts and feelings on life, throughout her life. This book would make a thoughtful gift for new parents and grandparents. Completed journals serve as cherished mementos to be presented at graduations, weddings, and first baby showers. This is guaranteed to remain a treasured keepsake for generations to come.--Reviewed by Deborah Shelton, author of The Five Minute Parent: Fun & Fast Activities for You and Your Little Ones
