Personalized
books for children are the best way to get kids interested in reading and learning. Seeing themselves in a book they hold in their hands allows them to get kids interested in reading and learning. Personalized ABC books are the perfect way to start learning the alphabet and reading. Some of the most popular alphabet books for toddlers include an imaginative story that your kid can see themselves in. 


The Manimal Tales personalized alphabet book is one of the best ABC books you could get your kids - because it’s the ultimate immersive, delightful, and imaginative alphabet journey that your child will ever go on! The ABC, What will I be? book talks about all the fun things a child could grow up to be. And they're not the usual boooring professions, but fun ones that will excite and stimulate their imagination. It's the perfect alphabet book for toddlers!


Here are three things your child could learn from the ABC book:

Alphabet book for toddlers

1. The Alphabet, of course!


This one goes without saying, but an alphabet book should teach your kid the alphabet. Duh! The Manimal Tales personalized ABC book does precisely that. As your child flips through the pages of exciting and fantastical people they could be when they grow up, there’s no way they don’t learn the alphabet either.

2. There’s no limit to who they can be

The amazing professions include astronauts, ninjas, explorers, magicians, and more! The ABC book teaches kids that there’s no limit to who they can be when they grow up and that their future is as large as their imagination.

3. Normalizing careers

So many situations and cases in the real world don’t normalize people of color or women in certain professions. The ABC book is a way to reinforce to your child that all jobs, no matter what it is, are open to anyone and that they can be anything they want to be. By seeing their face and name in the personalized ABC book, children can start seeing themselves in careers that, in the real world, may not have a lot of people that look like them.

Personalizing the Book

There are a couple of ways you can personalize the Manimal Tales ABC book:

Enter a custom dedication: The ABC book already has a cute, standard dedication, which you can use and sign your name. Or, you can also add a custom dedication and make the book that much more special! 

Character and Name:
You can pick from a total of fourteen characters and add your child’s name to the book as well. The ABC book will display your child in each profession and add your child’s name to every illustration for every letter in the alphabet book! 

Activities to do with your child:

Find their name on every page: Help your child find their name, which is hidden within every illustration on every page. Some are easy, but some are pretty hard!

Dream up new professions: Spend hours with your kids thinking up fun new jobs every time you read this book! The more imaginative, the better!

Sue Says:

Dreaming up all the whimsical professions was the best part of writing this book. I actually had to cut down a lot of options to pick just one for each letter! Writing the Halloween version of this book was even more fun. There’s no better way to teach your kid the alphabet! I always use this book with my kids, and they love it.
