Below you'll find an example of a "Little Reader" book I made for my son a while back. I've made about a dozen of these so far, which I stitch together into little books, and Jamie can read them with me at bedtime or when driving in the car, etc.
I've also been experimenting (albeit at an admittedly highly amateur level!) with converting these books into audio-visual screencasts so that he can watch and read the stories from a computer.
The example below ("Jamie's Playground") is a pretty good example of how simple it is to make highly personalised storybooks for your children, just using a camera, a word processing program, and a printer (or screencast for online application). It's also a pretty good example of why you should log out of gmail when doing a screencast (see if you can spot the part in the story when gmail pops up a notification in the corner of my screen saying a new email has arrived!).
