A Royal Birthday Celebration {@iseeme_Maia Book Review}

Our family loves to read.

We include it in our morning routine, our after nap routine, and our bedtime routine. Our kids love for books makes us very happy and we love encouraging their excitement about stories and imagination.

When I first heard about I See Me I fell in love with their whimsical storytelling and vivid illustrations. In my review of their wonderful book, Who Loves Me, I shared with you how much I enjoyed the flow of the book as well as how excited my kids were to read their names in the story.

Then we were lucky enough to receive My Very Happy Birthday in which my son was the start of the show. The size of the book and the fact that it was a board book made it perfect for our family and our small children.

When we received the latest I See Me Book, My Royal Birthday Celebration, I knew that my daugther would fall in love with it just as we had the last time. And boy was I right! As soon as I asked her if she wanted to read her birthday book she excitedly clapped her hands and grabbed it from me to climb up into bed.

I started reading to her but she quickly took over and started reading to me! She pointed out each and every person and animal and when she was done she allowed me to finish her special birthday story. Since her birthday is 6 months away we'll be putting this book up and re-introducing it to her as a special gift for when she turns two.

The best part about this I See Me! classic is that the child's name is repeated throughout the story. Your child will know that they are the star and that their special day is all about them. The royal extravaganza created for Princess Molly in her Royal Birthday Adventure created an amazing illustration of the party to come and to say Molly was excited is an understatement.

In this Royal Birthday Adventure there is even more detail and color in each page than before. The storyline quickly flows from one thing to another. My Royal Birthday Adventure is a personalized storybook that turns your child into a royal birthday princess! This beautifully illustrated book takes the birthday girl on an adventure to a magical birthday kingdom, where she is crowned princess.

Written by award-winning author Jennifer Dewing and illustrated by Valerie Sokolova, each book is made in the USA especially for each birthday girl.

Have a birthday boy? You can make a special Royal Adventure for him as well!

My Very Happy Birthday book from @iseeme_maia {#springintobooks Sponsor Spotlight}

I See Me! has done it again and created an amazingly creative and beautiful personalized story book. The My Very Happy Birthday book is wonderfully written and illustrated to create excitement about your child's birthday. If you're child is like mine and is obsessed with their birthday then you need to get this book for them.

Every few pages your child's name is included in the sing-song flow of this story and their birth date is woven in as well. The book is a board book and is very sturdy. It would even be safe in the hands of my 15 month old. Our Who Loves Me? book by I See Me! is carefully kept on the upper shelves of our bookshelf so she doesn't rip any pages but this birthday book can be kept down with her other special board books to be enjoyed throughout the day.

My son didn't need much coaxing to dig into his new book and soon he was in his favorite reading spot (on his bed) with his sister "reading" the book to her. He then asked me to read it to him. And asked again that night to read it at bedtime. He's already talking about his next birthday (which isn't until next February) and how all of the animals in the book are going to be invited.

He also has started talking to my daughter about her birthday and how we have to get her a birthday book too. I can't wait to order one for her! I See Me! has both a boy version and a girl version of this book and each are perfect for any child.

Ignore my daughter... she has a bit of an obsession with her nose right now.

The Simmworks Family Blog is excited to announce that we're giving away a personalized Who Loves Me? book by I See Me, Inc. I See Me, Inc. is an online book store that provides the highest quality, most personalized children's books available. They opened for business in May of 2000, after a year of active product development. Owners, Maia and Allan, received a personalized book as a gift for their first son in 1998. While they loved the fact that it was personalized, we thought that the illustrations could have been much better and the story more customized to the child. Thus I See Me! was born.

I was lucky enough to review the Who Loves Me? Sibling book and was able to gift it to my children for Christmas! Imagine their surprise when I started reading them the book and THEY were in it! My son looked up at me and said, "Me Ethan? Not another Ethan?" And I said, "Of course, this book is all about you, your sister and how much we love you!" His response was, "Oh, then this is my favorite book!"

It's quickly become a favorite book chosen for bedtime and my son has even started to tell me when certain parts come. Both children are intrigued by the beautiful illustrations and love talking about them with us as we read the books. And I love the thoughtfulness behind the personalization. Every time I read this story to my children I do so with a smile on my face. It's definitely a wonderful book and I cannot wait to buy more from I See Me, Inc.
