Custom Baby and Toddler Readers
Prepare now to customize your soft-cover or board-book Baby and Toddler Readers
Twice a year, we go to press for custom soft-cover Baby Readers.
Once a year, we also offer the option to customize orders of board Baby and Toddler Readers!
Custom Baby and Toddler Readers can:

Joining a TWB Custom Printing Run
To join our upcoming custom run, you'll need to complete our Custom Order Form to specify quantities, main contact, and Shipping and Billing addresses.
At the print-run deadline, we'll ask you to provide:
1. Your specific text (and direction for placement - see Cover Templates) and
2. Graphics files, if you're including logos, etc.
Our printing process requires standard print graphics files:
Native Files: Adobe Illustrator (AI) or Photoshop (PSD)
Vector File: EPS
or TIF or JPG files at 300 dots-per-inch (dpi)
Graphic files require embedded fonts, and should be in grayscale (using only blacK ink - no process white) unless your order is for a full-color customization.
We’ll place your custom components into the files of the English and/or Spanish Baby Readers. We'll then present you with amended PDFs or print-outs (see below) of your customizations for your review and final approval. NB: This proofing process is done in a timely manner to maintain our print schedule for all custom clients.

soft-cover Baby Readers.
My group is considering custom Baby Readers as a part of a new initiative...
While your organization is in the planning stages, we can work with you to create a mock-up custom cover. You'll have a draft custom version so colleagues have something tangible to consider during your presentation. Contact Cheryl for more information: 612-990-6011.
Preparing for an Early Learning committee meeting?
We can send you sample copies of our Baby and/or Toddler Readers. As you discuss your community's first outreach to new parents, colleagues may review the nursery
rhymes, photos and Parent Notes.
