I Like Book - Review & Recommendation

Ok, we have only had the kids' I Like Books for about 4 days but I already LOVE them!!  Here's a quick low down on the book:

What it is

The I Like Book is a sort of diary where you are given a short line to write in each day something that you like about your chiild.  There are spots for two parents/caregivers to write their own thoughts.

There are also spots to insert pictures and areas for the child to answer questions about their own feelings and thoughts.

Why I love it

We read from the books to the kids every night, as a part of our reading time.  I love to see the smile on their faces when I read what we liked about them.  They immediately loved their books and carried them around the next day asking for me to read from them.

I also love that years from now the kids will have something we wrote with our own hands and not just typed onto a screen.  I don't know why, but I  think there's value in that.

Lastly, the book is small enough to keep around the house easily and remember to write in versus trying to put together a big bulky scrapbook.  

My final word

You won't regret this purchase!  I bought ours at 50% through AP Deals and I've heard other deal sites offer it from time to time.  If you spot it make sure to pick up a few.  The book is written in a 12 month format so if you keep it up you'll need a new one each year.  The book comes in various colors.  We got a read and purple one.  Oh and don't forget about gifts.  Next time I find it on sale I'm picking a couple up for friends and family.
