Questions about this book
Can the book include the funny words my toddler uses?
Definitely. You can type their unique vocabulary, like "baba" for bottle or "nana" for banana, into the "anything special" field. The story will weave those sounds into the plot. If you want to tweak how a word is spelled later, you can rewrite any page after placing your order.
Which illustration style works best for a first words book?
It is completely up to your taste, but bright and simple styles like Watercolor or Paper Collage can be very engaging for toddlers. You see the cover in the style you pick for free before you pay.
