Review and Giveaway – Aardvark Adventure Stories!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

Bloggy Giveaways Carnival is being hosted at Bloggy Giveaways this week!

I couldn’t be more excited about the giveaway item here on Muse Reviews.

Do you want a gift for your child, grandchild, or any other child in your life that will NOT be commonplace?  Do you adore personalized items?  Do you seek to instill the love of reading in your child (but want to keep it super fun)?  If you answered “yes” to any of the above (or all three), just wait till you see Aardvark Adventure Stories.

I was fortunate enough to win a custom Aardvark Adventure Storybook earlier this year via another review blog.  I was tickled!  I had a personalized book growing up, and it was so neat to see my name and info in print! The Aardvark Adventure Stories team takes that idea a few steps further, enhancing your child’s story with his/her own photos!

We decided to let G be the lucky recipient of this book. (We will definitely have to order one for his little sister later.) We uploaded a few snapshots of him displaying various emotions (which was fun in and of itself), and in a few short weeks, “G’s Great Outer Space Adventure” storybook showed up at our house!

It is a deluxe, fabric-wrapped, hardbound book with super strong, semi-glossy pages and adorable illustrations. G’s photos were seamlessly woven throughout the book, and the story itself? Absolutely hilarious — entertaining and funny, tuned right into what fascinates young minds.

Aardvark Adventure 4

Aardvark Adventure 3

Aardvark Adventure Stories are available from their website for $49.95 each.

Win it! Thanks to the kind and courteous folks at Aardvark Adventure Stories (and the wonderful contest round-up at Bloggy Giveaways), I have one Aardvark Adventure Storybook up for grabs!

All you have to do is visit Aardvark Adventure Stories, look at the titles they have available, then come back here and tell me in one comment which storybook you’d pick AND who you’d give it to. I’ll close the contest at 11pm EST on Saturday, November 1, 2008 and announce the winner the next day. Good luck!

Definitely Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! Josiah would be the lucky recipient. What a great idea to incorporate pictures as well!

Neat! I really want Princess Adventure to give to my 19 month old granddaughter, Tori- she is the youngest of 13 grandchildren beginning with a 26 year old! Tori LOVES books and reads to herself a lot (we can’t understand the language but she evidently does :-)
Wonderful gift!
