A Uniquely Personalized Name Book
This version of My Very Own Name features the same story with a new cover option. (Our original bestseller with an owl on the cover is still available!) Each book is original based on the child’s name. Animals bring letters one by one to create the child’s first and last names in rhyme. A jackal brings a J, an ostrich brings an O, until the child’s full name is spelled out.
Celebrate a Baby’s Arrival
Welcome a new baby with a unique gift that parents will treasure for years to come. Each time the family reads the book, they’ll see a printed message from you and a photo of the child on the first page. Become a gifting legend.
Animal Encyclopedia
Spark their curiosity and learn fun facts about 61 different kinds of animals in the illustrated encyclopedia that is included at the back of the book.
Learn Your Name
Make your child feel unique and special with a book that incorporates the letters of their first and last name throughout. This beautifully illustrated story helps them recognize letters to spell their own name.

I bought the book for my grand-daughter's birthday. She is a little young yet but I'm sure she will love it just as much as both myself and my daughter-in-law. We both feel it is a great book and will surely become a favorite!
This company is wonderful! Their product is so unique, the books are great quality and they make a very special gift. I buy for the new ones in my life on repeat!
Q:I ordered one book for a foster child in our family and love it. I now want to order two more for two grandchildren; however, they go by their middle names. I can once again pay the extra for the middle name to be spelled out after the first name in the blook, but how can I get the middle name used on the front of the book?
Example: Elizabeth Blaire Brock in book
Blaire on front cover
Robert Harrison Brock in book
Harrison on front cover
Thank you!

A:I'm sorry however the name entered on the child's first name field will be printed on the cover, dedication and throughout the book.
If you enter a name into the child's nickname field, that will be printed on the cover and throughout the book and the names entered into the child's first name and last name field will only be printed on the dedication page.
