Personalized Children's Books are innovative and exciting story books where the reader becomes the star of his or her own adventure. Each story contains the child's name, age, hometown and friends, plus a special message from you. Personalized Children's Books encourages children to read and enhances their self-esteem and self-image. Our books will provide your child with a unique reading experience that he or she will want to repeat many times over. Bound in washable hard covers and featuring beautiful rich color illustrations, Personalized Children's Books are built to last a lifetime. We offer a number of titles to choose from for every occasion. Click here to visit our complete selection of titles.

Personalized Music CDs are audio CDs that contain stories and theme songs from popular shows personalized to include your child's name. Your child's name is mentioned throughout the entire CD by their favorite characters. Unlike our personalized books that can be made to include any child's name no matter how unique, Music CDs have limited names available.

We provide sample songs for all of our music CD titles where you can hear songs personalized with your child's name. For example, click here to listen to song samples for Elmo and Friends personalized with your child's name.

Please verify that your child's name is available in the list of names when ordering Personalized Music CDs. Each Music CD has their own list of available names. Also, if the spelling of your child's name is different, that's okay, we can spell the name any way you like, for example, Katelin, Kaitlyn, or Catelyn.

Personalized Photo DVDs for Kids makes your child the star of their own cartoon adventure with today’s most popular characters. Your child's face and name are incorporated into the cartoon animation. All we need is a digital photo of your child. Please be sure that the photo is clear, child is facing forward with no obstructions to the face (no hat or sun glasses).

We provide samples clips for all of our DVD titles where you can view the cartoon. For example click here for a sample of our personalized photo DVD for Dora, Diego and Me.
