finished the cover and had to put it all together. we had some problem in binding the wood together , we were suppose to get some canvas tape to finish it off nicely but couldn't find any. we ended up just using masking tape and painting.

Binded are spreads and added our cover, now were just doing some last minute touch up to the illustrations.

we looked at binding again, in the end we chose quite a basic way of binding, with a whole puncher and string. We felt this way was best because it worked with the brown paper and and gave it a craft look/appealed to kids more.
Then we printed all are the text on brown paper so we could start doing the final illustrations.
we also decided what we were going to draw for each spread.Then we printed all are the text on brown paper so we could start doing the final illustrations.
