In America, where labor costs are so high, "do it yourself" is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars, built their own garages, even rebuilt their own houses. Soon many of them will also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes children’s books with the help of computers. Although other book companies also publish that way, this company is not like the others. It allows the reader to become the leading character in the stories with the help of computers. Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Jenny. She lives in New York, and has a dog named Hody. The computer uses this information to make up a story with pictures.  The story is then printed up.  A child who receives such a book might say, "this book is about me," so the company calls itself the "Me-Books Publishing Company".
     Children like the me-books because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more importantly, in this way, readers are much more interested in reading the stories. Me-books are helping children to learn how to read.
