Our trade publishing partners use SharedBook to provide consumers with the opportunity to make their favorite books even more valuable and special through the addition of personalized pages. These custom creations maintain the artistic and creative integrity of the underlying work while allowing the reader’s affinity for the work to increase with the new version, an on-demand one-of-a-kind rarity. One example: the addition of a personalized dedication page to the Golden Books classic Poky Little Puppy in our store devoted to personalized titles for children.
Inscribe-it.com is a genius company that allows you to personalize books in a way that I have not seen before. And when I was asked to review the process I was so excited and knew exactly what I wanted to do, give my favorite book from when I was a child with a dedication to my daughter for her 10th birthday.
For those that do not know, here is what Heidi is about:
Author: Johanna Spyri
Illustrator: Scott McKowen
What happens when a little orphan girl is forced to live with her cold and frightening grandfather? The heartwarming answer has engaged children for more than a century, both on the page and on the screen. Johanna Spyri’s beloved story offers youngsters an endearing and intelligent heroine, a cast of unique and memorable characters, and a fascinating portrait of a small Alpine village.
I do not know why this book always stood out for me in my childhood, but I do know that I have lost count of the many times I have read it. And because it had a special place in my heart as a child I wanted to pass that on to my daughter. And Inscribe-it.com gave me the chance to not only give my daughter a special hardcover copy but I was also able to add a special dedication to it. Below is how a dedication page can look, it is not mine as that was special I only want shared with my daughter, but you can see what you can add to it.
And with hundreds of titles and great categories you will find that special one to give as a gift to your child, mom dad or grandparent. Here are the categories you can browse by: Boys 1-5, Boys 6-12, Girls 1-5, Girls 6-12, Teens, Moms, Dads. So be sure to stop by Inscribe-it.com for your special, unique gift for a loved one. These really make memorable gifts!

Well, Alice in Wonderland is always good, and I’d give it to my best friend, whose name is Alice, for her birthday. Though I have to say – I’m surprised and disappointed that they didn’t have Little Prince.

I couldn’t believe they had “The Secret Garden” I think I would pick that one. I had a hard time picking between “Heidi” , “The Secret Garden” and “The Wizard of OZ”. This is a really cool site. Thanks for Sharing with us. I love discovering great new web sites through the blog world~!
Oh I got so carried away I forgot to mention what occasion I wanted it for which would be to give to my niece. I practically raised her. She was always with me day and night. I would love to give this to her just because I know she would like it as a keep sake to remember how I read it to her so many years ago.
Thanks for the email about this review and giveaway~!

I would choose “The Velveteen Rabbit & Other Stories” for Tosha. “The Velveteen Rabbit” is one of my favorite stories ever and I still get emotional reading it. I would give it to Tosha for her birthday.

My 8 year old niece, Kelly and I have a special bond. She loves to help me in my garden. Her favorite are the garden gnomes, which she still believes come alive at night. her favorite picture book when she was 2 was about a garden gnome that got lost. We would go through it hundreds of times looking for the details, then looking for those things in my garden. so, the ‘Secret Garden’ would be a perfect gift, especially since she is upset that her dad will be away for her birthday this year.
The Monster at the End of This Book would be great for my son!

“The Velveteen Rabbit & Other Stories” would be wonderful for my daughter!
I subscribe! =)
My husband is always saying that he loved ‘The Monster at the end of this book’ and Grover is my older son’s favorite so I’d get that for his birthday to remind him of the likes that he and his daddy share.
