Customer Reviews

Literacy through book arts

This is a fantastic teaching resource. There so many great projects to try and all the children I've made books with have been thrilled with their results.

An excellent resource for the teacher

What an excellent resource for any teacher. The activities are interesting and thought-provoking. My students were so excited about creating their very own books!

Holistic learning experience for the child.

An excellent presentation of the holistic learning experience book arts can be for the child. Creating a book calls upon skills that will stand the child in good stead throughout life: planning, collaborating, discussing, consensus building. Also, technological, writing, visual, and design skills are challenged and strengthened.
