Happy to hear you had an easy time creating your book Darryl! Enjoy your first story and we hope you enjoy your book.
Beautiful pages rough story line...
The illustrations are beautiful and i love that it includes my son on every page but the story line is a bit scary to my 2 year old who doesn't understand his emotions yet so every other page he goes from sad to happy ...

Hi Carly 💜
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback — we’re thrilled to hear you loved the illustrations and that you saw your son featured throughout his story! ✨
We completely understand that The Emotion Emporium can feel a bit complex for younger readers who are still learning about emotions. We’d love to send you another book that might be a better fit for your son’s age — something a little lighter and more playful!
Please reach out to our team at https://help.magicstory.com/contact , and we’ll be happy to help you choose and send a replacement. 💫
Warmly,
The Magic Story Team
It's what my son thinks that matters
What's really important is how my 5 year old son received it, and it was just id hoped for! He was very excited and even taken back a bit about himself being the main character. It's well written and beautiful illustrated and we are looking forward to our next one. Thank you🙏

We're so happy you and your son love your book.
Great gift However limited selection on 1st book
I don’t like the fact I couldn’t pick out of all the different book options on the initial subscription. It only gave me about 8 to pick from and I couldn’t find anywhere to look at more options. We wanted the Dino book as his first book considering it’s his favorite subject currently but we couldn’t. That was really the only thing we didn’t like

Hi Patricia,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Just to clarify, Magic Story offers both one-time book purchases and a monthly subscription. The subscription gives families special discounted pricing and the flexibility to choose their next book, change their character, and cancel anytime — there’s no commitment required.

My granddaughter is dressed as a boy throughout the book!
The book arrived quickly and is good quality with a hard cover, but the pictures have my granddaughter dressed in blue and green and she looks very much like a boy. She was very upset that she looked like a boy throughout the story so I have contacted customer service to see if there is anything that can be done to fix it.

This book will be a game changer!
This book will be a game changer. My GrandSon will not get to see it until Christmas, but I already know that He will be ecstatic. In the mean while I have already purchased 4 more for My other Grandchildren. These books will be a hit, if they aren’t already. I Love it. The brilliant colors, the learning aspect and the quality of the material will have them on the edge of their seats. A must Have.

Adorable, I suggest a few adjustments though
I absolutely love this book and how it was made to include a character that looks like my son. The one thing I would change is the strange uncommon words in a children’s book. Though I can appreciate the rhyming scheme, the words need to be simpler and easier to understand for young learners. I would also suggest featuring the age group it is directed towards. Lovely story, sweet story line and AMAZING artwork
