Many of the best children's books today are true masterpieces of design, with imaginative texts, pop-ups, pullouts and removable items to stimulate young, enquiring minds. But with such sophisticated models, how can parents and teachers bridge the gap between what children read and what they write themselves? In this all new follow-up to Making Books, Paul Johnson sets out to achieve this aim by showing how children even as young as five can combine words, images and paper engineering to make books as enchanting as those they delight in. Contains projects suitable for children from ages 4 to 7. Over 200 new books that can be successfully made using only paper, scissors, glue and crayons. Detailed advice is given on how to plan each project, how to draft the text, and how to construct the book. The projects provide opportunities for reading and writing that link to the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy, the National Guidelines for Scotland and the curricula for the Republic and Northern Ireland. Includes notes for parents and teachers.
