What is a Personalized Children's Book?
Personalized books are different from regular books, because they STAR the child. He/She becomes the main character in a story of your choice, that weaves his/her name, hometown and other family or friends through it. As you browse through our collection of children's books, you will find stories every child can relate to: Dinosaurs, Ballerinas, Firemen, Trains, Sports, Zoos, Space Travel, History, Religion, Animals, Hot Air Balloons, Cleaning Your Room, Santa, Circus, Newborns & more! You just fill in a few blanks to order and we print, bind and mail the books to you. It's quick & easy!
What is the age range for your Personalized Children's Books?
Newborn to 11 years (each book description shows the best age for each story)
How long will it take to receive my books?
Most books are made the day we receive order and mailed the next day.
We have 2 shipping methods to use when ordering:

If I don't know the child's friend's names, what should I do?
Mom, Dad, Grandma, Aunts and Uncles work wonderfully in the books. You can always use your name, too.
How many names can go in the story besides the main character?
You may use 1 to 3 names and occasionally, we can fit in a 4th, depending on the number of letters in names.
Can two children be the main characters?
No. The way the program is set up, only one person can star in the book, but others are woven through the story, too.What do the books look like?

What are good occasions for sending Adult Personalized Books?
Nadine says: "You're Over the Hill Honey!" personalized book, is great for the person who has everything, including a sense of humor! This book pokes laughable fun at aging and is perfect for birthdays. Especially good for turning 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80. It ends on a semi-positive note for your friend, on the last page.
Excerpt: ("Seriously, though, before I leave you to wallow in your misery, I want you to know that you're improving with age, just like good wine. You really do look like a million bucks (friend's name) ! (Of course, a million bucks won't buy what it use to...")

Yes. If you are a school, church, or have an organizational cause that you would like to earn money for, we would be happy to help. From your end, it is very easy. First you would e-mail us with your interest and questions to: carla@carlabooks.com
Together we would develop a plan that consists of us mailing you the number of order forms you need to go home with the children at school or church, (or adults, if it is an older organization), with descriptions of each book and how to order. After the fundraiser is over, just send us the forms with checks or money orders. We will make the books and ship them back to you along with a check for 20% of products sold! You have not only raised money for a good cause, you have also put very special books into the hands of children learning to read.
