Summary: It's Nice, But There Are Better Ones Out There
Review: I bought this for my kindegartner, since his older brother has a school album and I wanted my younger son to have one, too. It's nice, it has all the places to remark about each school year, places for photos, places to keep reports and other mementos. But it's just... ugly! The layout, the design, the colors -- not at all attractive. If I could return it, I would, but my son has already written in it....

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I was prepared for this book to be less than attractive, what I wasn't prepared for was the unprofessional quality of the entire product. I could have make this up on my home computer, laminated the front and back and had the local copy store put it in a plastic ring binder. This looks like a very home-made design. The quality of the photocopied pages isn't even good! The places for pictures are tiny, and the folders are simple plastic sleeves with a piece of light cardstock in them so that one "pocket" becomes two, and has to do for two grades. I do not think that this album will hold up for the 14 years it is intended, much less be something that will keep items safely. I bought two. I'm sending them back and going to the store to buy some ring binders and plastic sleeves. I can do this better myself.

Review: It has been a pleasure storing my child's information with this masterfully designed book by Benjamin Jackson!

My first born will have a wonderful keepsake that will journal his years as an infant to a full fledge teenager! More impressively is that the book is hand designed and very original. It has the feel of being an item that will always be treasured, and passed down from generation to generation.

I can not say enough about "My School Years History Album," it is indeed one of the smallest monetary purchases one can make for such a large part it will play in a child's life.

Review: My School Years History Album is one of the most creatively designed books I have come across in many years. It is thorough, colorful and inviting to my family and I. This book not only allows me to document my family history, but it also enables me to record my first born child's school history! It will be a great conversation piece amongst family and friends and a family hierloom. Thank you Mr. Jackson for helping me to organize and highlight the next twelve years of my first born child's life. I am looking forward to purchasing your next book with all the possibilities it may offer!

Summary: Nice... with ONE exception!
Review: Very good book for keeping track of your childs school memories. Seems very well layed out and yes, it has pockets for report cards, etc. (where many of the other choices out there did not). This book covers kindergarten through 12th grade.. once again, many out there did not. Overall, a very nice book...
Now for the exception... it is not the nicest looking book in the world. Sort of 'blah'! My husbands first words were, "wow... how ugly!" Anyway... even with that, it was well worth the money!

Review: What a delightful book for everyone. I say this as a grandparent and one that works in the school system with small children. This is a definite must have!

I am thrilled at the thought of looking back years from now to see the progression of my grandson from a little baby to a young man. I also encourage my children's parents, at school, to purchase this book. Children tend to grow up overnight, and with this book you will not miss a step.

My School Years History Album is a book that is designed to keep track of a child's most formative and developmental stages in life. The author does a superb job with putting this book together. I would advise everyone to make sure this is one book on their wish list!
