Me Books: “Our computer will write a story starring your child!”
Yes, we will actually write a book about your child, his home, his friends and his pets all mentioned by name!
Imagine your child’s delight in becoming the leading character in a story! Whether you read this charming ME-BOOK to your child or he reads it himself, think of his surprise as his name appears over and over again in a story that’s filled with people and places he knows.
Never before has there been a book like “My Friendly Giraffe.” It’s a true product of the Computer Age.
The story is a delightful one. Your child will step into a marvelous fantasy world as he meets the friendly giraffe in front of his own home, then rides away on the giraffe’s back (together with a friend whose name you’ll send us) to a magical jungle adventure. It’s all completely believable because the names of your child and his friends are repeated throughout.
Builds learning skills for children ages 3 to 9
Educators welcome personalized reading as a major breakthrough in learning. This ME-BOOK completely involves the child and holds his attention as no ordinary book can. As a result, his interest and enjoyment in reading grow at a rapid pace.
Your child or grandchild, niece or nephew deserves this book — not just for the fun it provides, but for the learning stimulation too. It’s for children too young to read to themselves, as well as for youngsters just learning to read. Even older children will enjoy it, because no child ever outgrows his interest in himself.

A Me-Book for Nancy
Once upon a time, in a place called… there lived a little girl named Nancy…
Now, Nancy wasn’t just an ordinary little girl.
She had adventures that other little girls and boys just dream of.
This is the story of one of her adventures.
It’s the story of the day that Nancy met a giraffe.
The end of the story
That night, Nancy dreamed of her wonderful day with Ycnan. She dreamed of the happy jungle, and of the giraffe’s warm, friendly home.
And as she dreamed, she knew that Ycnan would always be close by looking after her.
There would be many other exciting adventures for Nancy and her friends.
And maybe, just maybe, if you’re a very good girl, someday we’ll tell you about those, too.

I thought the giraffe’s name was Wehttam.

My Grandma had these books made up for her children. Do they still make these? The new age personalized books don’t seem to be as good of quality.
Are these books still available for purchase and if so how do I get them?
The giraffes name is Esined ☺
I had this book when I was a little girl and I just loved it. It was given to me from my mother who passed away a couple of years after I got this book. Several years back I moved and unfortunately this book got left behind. I would love to get another copy of this if at all possible. Is this still available for purchase? By the way, the giraffes name is Aral:)
I still have my copy of this book, the giraffe’s name is your name spelled backwards, I cherish this book from my Nannie I am looking to see if they still make them to get one from my great nephew
I still have a few of these, but not the giraffe one.
My mom just found mine in a box in her basement. I have the adventure in mother goose land from 1979. I’d love to have these made for my kids but not sure how to find out if these are still available to order.
Love these! My mom had adventures in Mother goose land and my rainy day made for me & my brother. The quality was so lovely compared to what is available now. I wish we had better options or me-books was still around:(
