Our first books were made without the aid of a computer. We did the layout the old fashioned way, arranging the pages in the correct order and doing cut and paste with scissors and tape. Then we had regular copies made. You can hand write or draw on the pages, making this project appropriate for even the littlest bookbinders. Making books has been one of our family's school projects every year.
Literary progress becomes very obvious from year to year, especially in the younger grades.
Consider making an extra copy of the book for grandparents or family friends. We have made a habit of donating a copy of our books to a local library. My children are always pleased when they find that a friend has checked out and read one of their books. We welcome your comments.
