The Create-A-Book Kit it a fun program that enables
you to design a book, print and bind it together. It has many different
pictures and layouts to use and comes with everything you need. Making
the book is an easy step by step project.
First you must choose from three styles: storybook, scrapbook or activity
book. You can use different styles on different pages. For example,
one page can be a page all about your pet and the next can be an activity
word search. You can use any of their many pictures to decorate the
pages and when you are done you can print it and bind it together. It
is a fun and entertaining program.
On a scale of one to ten I would grant it an eight. The binding materials
are nice and they add a nice touch to the book. It takes a little while
to get used their menu and different navigating buttons. There is a
talking dog at the top but I became impatient with him when he would
not give me the information I was looking for. Once you get used to
their menu and buttons the program is easy. Something I was impressed
with was how simple it was to fix mistakes I had made.
I would recommend this program to people who like to write stories or
do scrapbooking. I was easy to install but it would be best to have
a color printing when using this program because all of the pictures
are in bright colors and a black and white printer would take away from
the fun and creativity of your book. It was entertaining program and
I enjoyed using it.
