Great Experience
The entire process this year was significantly more streamlined and efficient compared to previous years. Turnaround, which has historically been a major challenge, was exceptional this time, allowing us to commence without delay.
My students were thrilled to witness their artistic creations come to life in a book they can cherish indefinitely. This marks my fourth year of producing a class book, and I am committed to continuing this tradition for as long as I teach.

The experience was easy
The experience was easy! It was easy to follow the steps for how to make the book, best quality options and working on it. I believe it was an easy process for the families to sign up or say no to the book as well.

My Favorite 1st Grade Tradition
I have done this published book for many years and it has been my favorite tradition. I will treasure the class books that I made in my retirement. My students continue to tell me how much they love them as well.

I love that they send you a kit and you can reprint pages online if need be. The ordering process is easy for parents to nivigate. The cost is fair for a hard covered book.

Glossy Finish is GREAT!
I really enjoy the quality of the finished product. It has clear crisp pages that really represent the students work. It may seen silly, but I truly enjoy the replacement page stickers for the oops moments.

The books turned out great
The books turned out great! My one request is that there should be a copy of the list of parents that bought them.

Corrinne,
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback, we're so glad you and your students enjoy the books.
Regarding the list of parents that purchased copies, we do provide the online Order Tracker in your online account where you can enter the results of all Parent Order Forms you receive. Including card payments, check payments, and “No” orders, if you would like to utilize it. You can then print that off before you send your order in, or it is available to view once you receive your order, as well.
Wonderful customer service
Whenever I had a question I would send it through email. They did a great job with getting back to me quickly. I had made a mistake when choosing the book and they were able to fix that mistake as well.
