Do you love personalized things for your kids? What about personalized books? I know, as a child who couldn’t get things from just any store with my name on it, personalized things are so exciting. What could be better than your name in writing???
I was given the opportunity to review a book from MJM Books. I wanted to know more about the people behind such great books…
MJM Books was founded in 2007 by three innovative brothers Mike, Jeff, and Matt. Despite residing in different parts of the US (Phoenix, Chicago, and Denver) the brothers found a creative way to stay in touch. They began publishing unique children’s books that parents and kids love to read.
I looked around the site before deciding on what book I wanted to get. I found it very easy to navigate the site and choose what would suit my kiddo best. Once I decided, it was smooth sailing. MJM Books gives you some choices in customizing the book to what you want. I was able to enter the gender, eye color, hair color, skin tone (kid, mom and dad) as well as put a personal message in the book just for Johnny.
I chose the book If I Were Big for Johnny to have. I was surprised at how quickly the shipping time was for a custom book. It didn’t take long at all and Johnny was so excited when I opened the mailbox and there was something for him. He was even more thrilled when he found out the book wasn’t just for him but about him! He wanted me to read it to him right away and then he sat down to read it to me. He really did pay attention when I read because he was able to make up the story pretty close to what I said… and he recognized his name in the book which was so neat to see!
MJM Books is going to give one of my readers a book of their own. You will receive a coupon code to create and pay for shipping making it complete free and a wonderful gift! Your children, grandchildren, or any other child in your life will love this! Christmas is coming up as well and this would make a great gift for any child! Wouldn’t you love to have a personalized book for a special kiddo in your life?

I would choose A Day at the Park. My kids love to go to the park, this would be a fun book to read on days we couldn't visit the park. I don't know who I would personalize it for, either my son or daughter.
