By Esther K. Smith

Everyone loves a good book, but what's better than one you've made by hand? And not just any straightforward book, but simple pop-up books, flip books, magic pamphlets, pop-up maps, and accordions Esther K. Smith, author of How to Make Books , unlocks the secrets of making tricky book forms even if you've never worked with paper before. While some of these 25 projects can be made by kids with a little help from mom or dad, all are designed with the adult in mind--the adult who's a kid at heart With step-by-step directions and charming illustrations, a few carefully placed cuts and an array of folds and twists almost magically become a colorful, multidimensional book.
