After the story has been put onto Create -A -Book allows child to be the star the pages, she cuts them (right). After that they are bound in a hardcover. (Anne Chisholm photos) By Anne Chisholm STANLEY TWP. - Every person likes to read about themselves. They like to read the hockey write-up that tells how they deked the goalie and put the puck in the net. They like to read about the new store they opened or what they had to say at a meeting. So, it only makes sense that if you're try- ing to get a child interested in reading, that you put their name in a story book. And while you're at it, why not add a few friends' or relatives' names as well. Create -A -Book does exactly that. It is an 18 page hardcovered book with colorful pictures to illustrate the story. The star of the book is the child who receives it. Together, with three friends specifically selected, the star can go through six dif- ferent adventures - The Big Parade, My Christmas Wish, My School Fun Book, The Birthday Surprise, My Space Adventure and The Magic Dreidle (a history of Jewish Hanukkah) - As of October, Cindy Taylor is the Create -A -Book representative for Huron and Perth Counties. She first heard about the books this summer. "After my second son was born, I was watching a television talk show. There were two guys demonstrating and talking about it and they said they wanted dealers in each of the counties. I thought it would be a good business to start at home," said Mrs. Taylor. Although Create -A -Book has been in the United States for seven years, it only came to Canada in June of this year. Explaining how the Create -A -Book system works, Mrs. Taylor said, "It's all done on computers. The stories are on discs and I punch in the child's information and that is printed on pre-printed pages by Cindy Taylor displays the finished Create -A - Book product which takes only 15 minutes to complete. Create -A -Book makes the child the book is bought for the star, as well as in- cluding three friends, relatives, cats or dogs. (Anne Chisholm photo) the printer. It takes about 15 minutes." Another feature of the book is a dedica- tion page located at the front of the book. This page has the child's name, who gave the book to them and the year. So far the response to Create -A -Book has been good. "One lady said her daughter just loved the book. She wished she'd had a video camera to catch her expression. Her eyes were so big when she heard her name." In order to let the public know that Create -A -Book is available in this area, Mrs. Taylor has taken her computer and materials to various craft shows. The last show she did was the one sponsored by the Vanastra Lioness. Mrs. Taylor will also do home demonstrations or give demonstrations in stores or malls. "What people don't realize is that it can be done while they wait...It takes about 15 minutes," said Mrs. Taylor. As well, Mrs. Taylor hopes to get spon- sors to sponsor a school class, giving each student a book for graduation. "If I can get the sponsors, this would work for kindergarten, Grade 1 and even nursery schools," she said. Also offered by Create -A -Book are per- sonalized Santa letters, Easter letters, safety letters, Hanukkah letters and a photo sitcker that can be placed in the front of each book, showing who the star of the story is. Fund Raising Venture For CPH To help the Clinton Public Hospital (CPH) with their fund raising project for the new obstetrical wing, Mrs. Taylor will donate $2.50 from each book sold from CPH, Huronview or someone from the fund raising committee.
