“I found the Picture Me books really good quality and strong. The pictures were very accurate. The storyline was a little weak but THE SERVICE, friendliness and willingness to help was amazing. I ordered 6 books in all and I had time restraints on 3 of them - no favour and no request was too much trouble. I'd do it all again. Pat Noel”

“A huge thank you goes out to Picture Me Books. Sienna on Safari is the 3rd book I have ordered through them and the experience has been nothing but pleasant, quick and professional from beginning to end. Sienna has loved seeing herself with the animals in her book and gets so excited to show everyone who comes to visit.”

“Absolutely speechless, totally in awe Would highly recommend 10 times over I never expected our 1 year old to recognise himself in his book right now, maybe when he was older, but the smiles we got when he saw himself on his ocean adventure were full of joy, so timeless It's so much more than just a book, it's a piece of our son's childhood that we now will always have to cherish Again, I can't find the words for the magic you guys have created for parents & kids alike, it's truly pure magic Our hearts are full & happy to be apart of the Picture Me family & look forward to joining many more stories to come Keep up the fantastic work Micaela & Nick Thanking you from the bottom of our hearts”

“The moment my son opened the book and saw himself as the main character, his eyes lit up with pure excitement. He couldn't believe he was actually in the story! He's a curious little reader with a big imagination, but this took things to a whole new level. The adventure was heartwarming and inspiring, filled with courage, kindness, and a few fun twists that had him completely hooked. It felt so personal — like it was crafted just for him. This isn't just a bedtime story, it's a memory we'll cherish forever. Highly recommended, especially as a birthday gift!”

“The look on my son's face when he laid eyes on the book. He instantly recognised himself on the cover and absolutely adores the book. He is a reading fanatic - obsessed with the Famous Five series and has said this THIS book tops the Famous Five. That is high praise. The story has a beautiful message about kindness, compassion and bravery and the book quality is amazing. Highly recommend!”

“We recently ordered a book from Picture Me, where your child becomes the hero of their own story. With just a few photos that we provided, they created a beautiful AI generated storybook - in our case, an adventure with a dragon! It was so exciting for my son to see himself brought to life in the story. Such a fun idea that makes bedtime stories even more special. A keepsake we'll always treasure.”

“Such a unique gift and a gorgeous keepsake. Service was excellent. I needed quite a bit of help and redesigning certain pages and they helped at all times with no questions asked. The story itself is very good and the pictures are stunning. It made for the perfect birthday gift - thank you so much.”

We publish reviews exactly as customers wrote them — typos, capitals and all — and we never edit out a criticism. Most of the quotes above are Google reviews you can read for yourself on our Google Business profile, which is also where our star average and review count come from; we never type a rating in by hand. The few marked “shared with us on picture-me.co.za” came to us directly, along with the photos those families chose to share.
