Amanda Lewis’s Making Memory Books book is wonderful way to get kids to start saving their own memories to be treasured and cherished down their future road of life. When children add their recollections, special show ticket stubs, invitations to fetes, and other sentimental memories to their own memory book they will realize they are capturing the stories filling up their lives. This book is probably for the older child. (Daily Miner News)
