Other book companies also publish that way,but this company is not like the others. This is a wonderful book that you and your children can make. In this book ? your children can write ( or have you write) and draw all about their family ? friends ? and favourite things. It allows (允許) the reader to become the main character in the stories with the help of computers. Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Jenny. She lives in New York,and has a dog named Howdy. The computer uses the information to make up a story with pictures. The story is then printed (印刷) up. A child who receives such a book might say ,“This book is about me,” so the company calls itself the “Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company”.

      Children like the picture-me-books because they like to see in print their own names,their pictures and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important,in this way,readers are much more interested in reading the stories. Picture-Me-Books are helping a child to learn how to read.

Why do the children like Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company” ？

Because they may see the 4. of their own,their friends and their pets.

What does this passage tell us?
