Book Review
Read this book if you want to know in detail about how a book is made
The illustrations in this book are just wonderful! The title is made from books which is very clever. Read this book if you want to know in detail about how a book is made.
I learnt about the interesting process in a fun way- now I actually want to write a book! It also answers any questions you might have about how a book is made. It is very funny because the author gets to eat all the biscuits. My favourite bit was the people doing happy dances because it’s a long process that finally comes together.
The end papers (I learnt that name in the book) have loads of books including How to make a book. It also says about how the book is printed and sold. There are lots of diagrams and illustrations and bright colours. And I am pleased to be part of the process as a book reviewer. The end is really good because the cycle continues.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fun factual books or wants to know how to make a book
