Books for a birthday

A present that is a new book, written for the child it is for, about whatever they choose.

A book token is a nice present until the child has to pick a book off a shelf somebody else filled. With TaleTykes they choose who is in the story, where it happens and what it is about, and we write and illustrate it for them at the level they read.

They can make a story about the thing they are most into this year, and they can be the one it happens to. Each book is read along with them one word at a time, and a book they want to keep can be printed or saved.

What kind of book they get

The family chooses the level when they use the code, so you do not need to know it. These are the four kinds of book we write.

  • A short picture book to share aloud.
  • A first book to read yourself, built from sounds you know.
  • A first chapter book with a hook at the end of each chapter.
  • A longer story with subplots, and paths you can choose.

How to give them

Books start at $8.99 for 10. You pay once and nothing renews. We send a code to you or to the family, and it can be used for 1 year. You do not need an account, and we do not ask you anything about the child.
