Talk to me about autograph books

[WendyLou]

what a great idea!!

We went on several trips before the kids noticed that other kids collected autographs, so it's definitely not a must-do. We finally decided to try it, but I just bought the Disney Junior Encyclopedia of Animated Characters from Amazon and had each character sign on their page (or a blank page if they didn't have their own page). I really didn't want a book that they'd never look at again taking up space. Many of the characters enjoy flipping through the books and discussing them with the kids, so it was a good buy, I think. Plus, it cost about the same as a Disney autograph book.

We did the Jr. Encylcopedia -- it's ok, and the kids like looking at it. We took it to Staples, had the binding shaved and had it made into a spiral book, so it was easier to open to pages. The characters loved it. It has one big drawback, it's a substantial book, and we had one for each kid. We are light travelers, and if it weren't for those books, we wouldn't have needed a backpack.
We won't be taking it our next trip and might skip autographs all together, just pictures.
