One month ago my husband and I decided to make a book by hand for my daughter.
We bought a fancy notebook with cartoon characters and well design frames every two or three pages. I love it because we can easily fill in our input and children will like it. I selected some pictures of my naughty daughter showed in video MSN I caught by PrintScrn and printed them out, of course, they are in black and white. I also prepared some beautiful photos we took in Edmonton Heritage Festival and Whyte Avenue Art Walk. My husband showed his talent in drawing a rabbit with her umbrella, a balloon in the sky and YingTaoXiaoWanZi, a funny Japanese cartoon character (my daughter looks like this little girl).
Furthermore, I download some interesting items from the Internet which include
- a story about a white rabbit (rabbit is my daughter's favorite animal)
- two Chinese ancient poems (Jing Ye Si & Deng Guan Que Lou)
- three riddles for fruits,
- two blank drawings in which kids can fill in colours as they like
- one page of Chinese character for teaching, just some simple characters, such as big, small, middle, left and right
Finally, I made two paper folding for my daughter, a paper crane and a paper dog.
I think with all these content, my daughter will like this book, although she has already got a lot of printed book bought from book store or website. It's unique because we created and generated it especially for her. I wish my daughter will grow up a smart and knowledgeable with the good habit of reading.

The book is the best one. I think your daughter will like it and feel your love though she is only 3years old.
I admire at your family, so happy, so romantic.
Yay for you! Reading is so important. When I grew up, I was surrounded by books, and reading was just part of my everyday life. This had a very important effect on my vocabulary and ability to write well; I think that growing up in an environment that is rich in books and the love of reading will teach children to love and respect books and words and ideas.
Levitt, who wrote Freakonomics, mentions this idea! I should give him credit, since he published a book with this idea. Maybe I can find the full reference online...
