A few entertaining hours . I sent this to my godchild for her 7th birthday. She really enjoyed making the little books and reading them to her mother. Her mom told me it was one of her favorite gifts. If the child you're buying for loves to draw and read, this is a winner.

Almost Instant Gratification! . There is something extra special about 'writing a book' to my kids that writing or drawing on plain paper or in a regular notebook just doesn't seem to approximate. These little books are just the right size and price for the kids to make something a little special, but not so expensive that I will be upset when they are eventually destroyed. (And they will be destroyed. These look more durable than I had expected given the price, but as another reviewer points out, the pages are just glued together.)
The books are about 4"x5" with 12 (or 24, I guess) pages inside each. Their binding, the stickers that come in the kit, and the book-holder box are all made of or covered in plain matte white paper and can be decorated with the markers. The paper inside the books is slightly heavier than regular printer paper but not quite cardstock. So far not even the five-year-old has managed to make the markers bleed through the paper.
Our eight-year-old has used another book-making kit in the past that involved writing and drawing on special pages, mailing those off, and then waiting and waiting and waiting to get the finished book back. We loved that kit and its finished product but it was definitely not instant gratification. It also cost about three times as much as this kit.
As nicely self-contained as this kit is, it would make a great travel/vacation toy or a great toy to have on hand if you're about to be visited by kids.
Did I mention we love it? We love it.

Wonderful fun but slight durability issues . My niece and daughter (both four) recently spent hours making their own story books with this wonderful little kit. The books are a perfect size (about the size of a small board book, only with regular pages), the quality of the cover is excellent, and the girls greatly enjoyed making their own books. The only problem, however, was that the pages do come out a little too easily for my taste. The binding is not sewn, but rather glued in a little like a notepad, and a surprisingly small amount of force in the wrong direction can rip a page out. Still, on balance the price is fantastic for what you get. I would have enjoyed this kit very much as a kid. As it is, I was very tempted to save the third book for myself to use.

Great Creative Activity . I got this for my granddaughter, who has been making and stapling together her own books since she was 4 years old. Now that she is nearly 7 and a beginning reader, I thought it would be nice for her to make herself a real book, and she was very excited when she opened the package. This was a great idea someone had, of providing the materials for making 'real' books. The components appear to be of really good quality. I know it will provide hours of creative fun for her, and I couldn't be more pleased.
Great buy for your child's creative side . My son was making books at school from manilla paper and bringing them home to work on them further. This find was great. He loved having an actual hardcover book to color himself and put his own story into. The markers and stickers were a bonus as well. The books are good quality and have plenty of pages for a short story. I'm sure we'll look into purchasing this again. Fun for parent and child.
Perfect for the Kiddies! . I ordered two of the Creativity for Kids 3 Bitty Books - one arrived completely crushed and damaged, and the seller was MORE than accomodating to make right. They were excellent. In terms of the set, the stickers can be colored with the included markers...the books themselves are indeed itty bitty. They are hard covered and of good quality. I haven't given this to my nephews yet, but being they love making construction paper books, this will be PERFECT!
My kids love these . Simple concept, huge inspiration. Both my girls (ages 5 and 7) love these little books and spend hours writing and illustrating their latest stories. Highly recommended.
Great gift for a creative kid . Bought these as a gift for my nephew's 6th birthday and they were a huge hit. I wish I would have found something like this for my son when he was that age.
Great gift for a 5-8 year old . Lovely product and 6 year old daughter loves it. Creative, durable, and the packaging makes it look fun. Excellent gift.
Great gift for Creative child . I got this for as a christmas presents for my cousin. She is quite the imaginary little 8 year old so this was perfect. She enjoyed making her own stories, and illustrating them as well. Over all was a great gift!
