I absolutely love this book and how it was made to include a character that looks like my son. The one thing I would change is the strange uncommon words in a children’s book. Though I can appreciate... See more

It was very easy and the picture I uploaded looked just like my granddaughter. I can’t wait until next month to pick another book.

That's wonderful to hear! We work really hard to get those avatars just right, and it sounds like we nailed it with your granddaughter! We're so excited that you're already looking forward to next month's book. Building that reading tradition together is what it's all about. Can't wait to see which adventure you pick next!

It's a delight to order books from Magic Story. We've received one book so far (and a new one is on the way). The quality of the book was excellent, and the colors are vibrant and eye-catching. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the book so quickly after ordering, and my 6 year old loved seeing himself in a book! Thank you.

Had difficulty getting avatar right
Had difficulty getting avatar right; settled on a selection but only saw the cover page. Not sure I will continue until I see the rest of book.

Thank you for reaching out, Cris! We appreciate your feedback about the avatar selection and viewing experience. We hope you the book met your expectations when it arrived.
Bedtime
Love the story and photos, but prefer a story about bedtime NOT have the child eating candy. Grandson loves the Whale! His favorite word now. Age 2

My granddaughter is so excited getting her book every month.
I order a new book every month from Magic Story for my 4 yo granddaughter. She gets so excited when it comes in the mail and we have to read it right away. I like how the books discuss so many different issues that kids could be going through, in a nice and fun way. The pages are beautifully done and the star, my granddaughter, is adorable. It’s fun discussing the book, with my granddaughter, after reading it. Thank you for such wonderful books.

Thank you for the feedback, Lesa! We're continuously working to improve our product. We recently launched editing tools that allow you to fully customize your child's appearance. We hope this new feature allows you to achieve the resemblance you want.
Absolutely amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience! My niece is over the moon with her storybook—her avatar looks just like her, which made it even more magical. Everything was seamless from start to finish: easy sign-up, simple photo upload, and clear progress tracking from creation to delivery. I love that you receive alerts when it’s time to continue the adventure, and I’ve already selected her next story.
The book itself is beautifully made, with sturdy pages and a lovely, high-quality binding—it feels like a keepsake, not just a book. Truly a special gift. A new personalized book every month is such a fun and meaningful way to encourage reading. I can’t wait to see how the next one turns out!
The pricing is perfect for what you receive, and the app is incredibly cool. She can download her story on her tablet, have it narrated, and enjoy additional content like music videos and a whole library of children’s songs.
No other company comes close to Magic Story. I recommend it to everyone—it’s truly magical!

John, your review absolutely made our day! We're thrilled your niece is over the moon with her storybook and that she's already picking her next story. Thank you for the wonderful feedback—Magic Story truly is magical when you see it through a child's eyes!
Books don't involve your child enough.
The books are ok. But the AI generated characters and storyline are a bit disappointing. The books are also quite expensive. We are trying it one more time. But so far it's just mediocre.
