Creating a Children's Book

Student Worksheet 8: Putting the Book Together

When putting your book together remember these important points:

  • If you are using glue, before you use it, put the text and picture on the page to see how it looks.
  • Be careful with glue! It can spoil your page and stick different pages together. Do not stack your pages until the glue is dry.
  • If you are punching holes in card or construction paper, take your time and do it right. One improperly punched hole can ruin a page.
  • Do not put the book together until absolutely everything else is done. Here is a final checklist:
