If you like personalized books for your children you are sure to love JibJab Jr. books! We reviewed them last fall and fell with them immediately! They offer a new book every month and our tiny testers always ask for them if they realize that a new month has started! 

Starting next month JibJab Jr. books will evolve into a new edition, starring the newest characters to be added to the JibJab family; StoryBots and the books will be called Starring You Storybooks.

StoryBots are brightly-colored, perpetually positive little creatures who live beneath our screens and make learning fun for kids — and easy for parents! After the update, the app will still have all the books your kids love, but it will just look different and load a ton faster. Click here for a sneak peek at the new app and more information on the transition.

Here’s what you will see changing in your child’s books once the change occurs:

• BOOKS: The books your kids love will not change one iota. You will have all of the books you currently have access to and we will continue to roll out a new book every month.
• BRAND:  The name of the books will change to Starring You Storybooks which describe them even better!
• SPEED:  The app is blazing fast compared to the current version. A lot of the pauses that used to happen in the experience while you were waiting for things to load now happen in the background so the app, overall, is more responsive.
• LOADING SCREEN: After the app loads, a super fun intro animation will ease you and your kids into the StoryBots world. Check it out!

The new Starring You Storybooks will roll out next month! In the meantime Evan and Gregg, the brothers behind JibJab, are sharing some FREE StoryBots products:
