Hallmark’s Recordable Storybooks Help You Stay in Touch When You Can’t Be There

By Jennifer James, Founder, Mom Bloggers Club

I have partnered this summer with Hallmark as one of their Storytellers to share their recordable storybooks with you.

This month I recorded All the Ways I Love You by Theresa Trinder and illustrated by Aaron DeWitt. It is a sweet story of a parent's love for their child. What makes Hallmark's storybooks so remarkable is they allow a loved one who can't be with a child to still read them a story. This is great for grandparents, parents in the military, and anyone who would love to read a story in their own voice to that special someone in their life.

In my case, I don't get to see my young niece often, so this is a perfect way for her to still hear my voice even though I am states away.

Listen to my audio review of All the Ways I Love You. Not only can you hear more about why I love these storybooks, you can also hear how the recordable storybooks sound.

While the storybooks are electronic they are surprisingly lightweight. Here's a side view of the storybook I just recorded.

The instructions to record the storybook are extremely simple. You can record a storybook in as little as fifteen minutes. While I'm sure you would want to invest more time in your story, it really it that easy to use and record.

Next month I will be recording another story. This time I will post video of how easy the storybooks are to use and share with children in your life.

Comment by j on July 16, 2010 at 12:50pm: I LOVE THIS IDEA! My husband is from the UK so no matter where we are, there is always one set of grandparents who miss out on time with my son :-( Would be cute to have them 'virtually' there, reading a story...

Comment by Desiree on July 16, 2010 at 12:32pm: I'd love to win one of these for my son... especially when I'm traveling this would be perfect!!!

Comment by Velvet Hubler on July 16, 2010 at 12:11pm: These are so cute! And my family lives far away so this would be a great way to let them here my voice.

Comment by Danielle Garcia on July 16, 2010 at 12:04pm: These are wonderful. My in-laws live 3000 miles away and my kids would love to have grandma be able to read them a story.

Comment by Angela Howard on July 16, 2010 at 11:53am: As a Military family these would be wonderful for my Husband to record a story for the kidlets.

Comment by Theresa Gould on July 16, 2010 at 11:50am: What a neat idea! I don't have any little nieces or nephews that live at distance since they are all older than my children. But I would love to send this to my mom so she can record the story for our children! What a unique gift it would be!

Comment by Jillian Allen on July 16, 2010 at 11:46am: I love these! My mom made the Christmas story one for my son last year. It's a nice thing to have since we live in a different state than all of our family!

Comment by Janelle @ Brimful Curiosities on July 16, 2010 at 11:46am: What a wonderful way to share a story with someone small you love...especially perfect for grandparents and parents that are away from their favorite child!

Comment by Stefanie Zucker on July 16, 2010 at 11:44am: I LOVE this!!! Would love to be able to read to my niece and nephews in New Jersey from Atlanta. What a great idea :)

Comment by Beth Shupp-George on July 16, 2010 at 11:34am: I would love to have one for parents to record for my daughter. They live 1/2-way across the country, and she only sees them a few times a year.

Comment by Misty Boberg on July 16, 2010 at 11:33am: This is so cool! I would love to win this.

Comment by Ivette Muller on July 16, 2010 at 11:32am: I actually tried to buy one of these at Christmas last year for my girls but they sold out so quickly! I would love to win one that I just have to buy two others for now. :)

I want one each for my two girls, and one for my niece.

Thanks!
