Personalized books for children without the audiovisual bells and whistles

Bedtime Reading, Written by a Robot Just for You.  (The New York Times, 12/22/2015)

With its software-generated stories, Lost My Name has carved out an unusual niche within children’s publishing. Instead of relying on audio and visual bells and whistles to engage children, like three-dimensional pop-ups or buttons that play music, Lost My Name aims to make the narrative itself more captivating, by using computer codes to weave personal details into the storyline. Despite all the technology driving it, the resulting product looks and feels oddly, and charmingly, traditional.

There's also a book for boys.


Amber.  Lucas.  Just wondering if the names have to be 5 and only 5 letter long.  What about Alexadner, Christopher, Elizabeth, and Evangeline?  

There's no difference between a book about 'Alex' and a book about 'Alexander'.  Both are priced at $29.99.
