The World According To: A Book Review

By Deborah Shelton

How many times has your child said something so irresistibly cute, and you've told yourself 'I should write that down'...but never do? Or if you do record those gems, is it on so many scraps of paper and store receipts that a shoebox or drawer is overflowing? As a mother myself, I'm guilty of both, which is why I was glad to find C.J. Rilly and Suzette Tyler's new book The World According To.

The cover of this beautifully hardbound book features a slot to add your child's photograph. The interior lined pages are perfect for recording your little one's dreams, jokes, tall tales and epiphanies on the world you both share.

With ample space for written descriptions, the journal offers provocative questions that will inspire a veritable biography. Thought-provoking questions include: What's the best thing about you? Is there anything that you used to be afraid of but you're not anymore? If you could have anyone in the world as a friend, who would it be? What's the hardest thing about raising children? Are you hard or easy to raise? If you were to take a spaceship to the moon, what 3 things from home would you make sure to bring with you?

The World According To is the perfect means for preserving your child's unique thoughts and feelings on life, throughout her life. This book would make a thoughtful gift for new parents and grandparents. Completed journals serve as cherished mementos to be presented at graduations, weddings, and first baby showers. This is guaranteed to remain a treasured keepsake for generations to come.
