Record a Story the Day You Were Born

Please note that in order for the book to function properly it must be recorded on a flat surface and in a well-lit area, so that the holes located on the right side of the book have an unobstructed view of a light source. The same conditions are also required for proper playback.

Record a Story: The Day You Were Born is a recordable storybook that enables a parent, grandparent, or other special family member or friend to read a story to a child, even if they are miles or times zones apart. The voice recording is permanent; it will not be lost when the book s batteries are changed. The product makes an ideal gift for a child age 18 months and older from out-of-town relatives, a parent who is away from home frequently, or someone in the military assigned to a faraway land.

The person recording the book tells a story of realizing the deepest meaning of love on the day a child was born. One passage reads, The day you were born I finally knew a love I d never felt. So total. So true. Record a Story: The Day You Were Born is easy to set up. Follow these directions:
Turn to the page you wish to record.
Press the RECORD button. Listen to the instructions. When you hear a beeping sound, read the words on the page.
After you are finished reading the page, press STOP. You can re-record until you are satisfied with your recording. Repeat the process with the remaining pages of the book. You can also record a personalized message on the dedication page.
Set the locking switch behind the screw-on plate to ensure that your recording won t be inadvertently erased.
