Knowledge Adventure Books by You Win/Mac Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In reading the description, I was expecting that it would guide a child in writing their own book. NOT SO. It just has a story written out, and blanks for the child to fill in. It is NOT their own book. My daughter, who is 9 years old, is very much into writing and has written many chapters of her own imagination. I thought this product was going to help her fine-tune it and guide her along proper techniques and examples of how to perfect her writing into a book that she can be ready to publish. So, beware. This program is already a story written, just fill in the blanks.
