Sandra Boynton introduces the best book character EVER

Sandra Boynton introduces the best book character EVER
Sandra Boynton's newest character in her newest book is the sweetest, funniest, cutest critter ever: My kid. And not because his sister drew him in with my missing Sharpie.

I just love Are You A Cow?, a customizable (yes, customizable) board book by world-famous, best-selling children's author Sandra Boynton. If you don't recognize the name, you can still probably recite her books by heart-- Oh Me Oh My Oh Dinosaurs, Barnyard Dance, and The Belly Button Book just to name a few.

And now, your baby can gnaw on the perfect family heirloom, a board book featuring his name, a dedication line, and a final thought leading to his toothless grin on the very last page -- although the printing is, by nature, not super sharp and smooth as it is with store-bought books. The process is easy and painless, I promise: You just fill in the blanks, preview the entire book, and upload up to two photos. Then POOF! in ten days, you receive your one-of-a-kind board book with cows, chickens, frogs, hippos, and your own little star.

As far as publishing timetables go, that's unbelievable. And so was my son's face when he saw himself smiling on the last page.~Delilah

Are You A Cow? is the perfect gift for budding egomaniacs. Find it at Pint Size Productions for $19.95 each plus $4.65 for shipping and handling.
