A Wonderful Introduction to Bookmaking for Kids

The Book Book: A Journey into Bookmaking This is a wonderfully creative and imaginative book on bookmaking for kids. I teach bookmaking workshops and adore this book for all ages. The format is delightful and the projects are inventive and absolutely doable. Pietromarchi gives wonderful spring boards to get children (of all ages) thinking in a way that allows for creating stories. The structures are a great too! I would highly recommend this book to all parents, teachers and bookmakers alike. Check out more great book for kids at [...] and [...]

creative, sparkling little book

It's really rare to come across a book so creative in it's presentation of the process of making a story and book. In our world there is an excess of instruction and a lack of free flowing creativity which this book encourages. The beautiful illustrations and fun, unique layouts prompt ideas instead of prescribing them, and it is a joy to read. This book inspires.
