Review
' I have never seen so many unusual and interesting ideas for book-making ' --Carousel (March 2009)
Product Description
Many of the best children's books today are true masterpieces of design, with imaginative texts, pop-ups, pull-outs 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 Get Writing: Ages 7-12, Paul Johnson set out to achieve this aim by showing how children can combine words, images and paper engineering to make books every bit as enchanting as those they delight in. Each section of the book introduces a basic book form - e.g. a pop-up book, a shape book, a zigzag book or a flap book - and then gives examples of different ways the design can be used for a variety of exciting writing projects. Detailed advice is given on how to plan each project, how to draft the text and how to construct the book.

Format:Paperback
I bought this for my 10 year old son who is a very reluctant writer. He has been completely inspired by the projects in this book and it has given a bit of interest and vigour to his homework! it's great that he is now able to see that information doesn't have to be presented in a predicatable and linear fashion and this is encouraging him to pick up a pen to write and create.
Format:Paperback
Don't know if it's just me but these books are time consuming to make in volume. Some great ideas but do leave plenty of preparation time if you are doing a whole class project.

Literacy through the books arts
6 April 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a terrific resource for teachers. I have used some of the projects in this book in my classroom and I have had positive results and reactions from the students and their parents. The activities can be adapted to suit different primary year levels. This is a fantastic investment.

The best book making pop up book ever
29 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have them all. This book has every innovative book making pop up idea that ever existed. The clear diagrams will help you to make fantastic items. Every crafter and scrapbook lover should have this book. As a teacher I use one of these at a time with my students. The tumbling book alone, causes students to ooo and ah when I show them mine. From the easiest to the hardest manipulatives, this book has enough to keep you busy for years. I love it.
