ABSTRACT:
A story book for teaching desired behavioral patterns is disclosed. The story book includes a front and back cover, and a plurality of pages therebetween. The covers and pages are bound together in a conventional manner. The front cover may carry a title as well as an illustration relating to the main theme of the story book. Each page has text printed thereon accompanied by an illustration. The text communicates a message related to a desired behavioral pattern. The illustration preferably includes a character which may be personalized with the likeness of the reader. This may be accomplished by applying a photograph of the reader to certain of the pages. The photograph may be applied, for example, via a lightly tacky adhesive or a transparent pocket. Preferably, the photograph is cooperatively received by an arrangement of slots. Each page may further be provided with an illustrative environment in which the personalized character interacts. The reader, being associated with the personalized character, may mentally interact with the environment or setting illustrated. The interaction between the personalized character and the environment is purposed to encourage enthusiasm from the reader and to inspire the reader to repeatedly read the story book. Through repetition, the reader's learning of the desired behavioral patterns is enhanced.
