I have always loved the idea of making a t-shirt with a storybook character appliqué and the child's name embroidered on it! The Polka Dot Monkeys now carries a line of personalized storybooks that incorporates the name of the child. I am so in love with the idea of a book and coordinating t-shirt that are both personalized. This is so great for the preschool/kindergarten age child! It jumps starts the child's imagination when they actually see their name in print.
Reading is a skill that is highly valued in our society and a source for advancement. When you and your child read together you are weaving a successful lifelong understanding of the audial and visual written word allowing for correct and productive speech advancement that is associ-ated with the written word and pictures. It has been proven that reading to babies helps develop speech patterns.
Stimulating imagination is also key in a child's advancement. Our personalized books allow the child to put themselves in the story as a participating character and the coordianating t-shirts allow for them to connect even more to the story. Involvement is everything with the stirring of a little ones imagination. Have fun.....live a little through the imagination of your child! Personalized books range in price from $19.95 to 34.95 (soft and hard back books are available), personalized t-shirts range from $24-29 (depending on number of appliqués).
