I did not receive many responses to my TARGET, but one person reminded me to
try asking the fine folks over on the Book_Arts-L listserv for
recommendations. Several responses from that list recommend the site by Susan
Kapuscinski Gaylord http://www.makingbooks.com One person recommended the
following books:
1. How to Make Books with Children by Joy Evans and Jo Ellen Moore, 1985, Vol.
1, for grades 1-6, publ. Evan-Moor Corp, 18 Lower Ragsdale Drive, Monterey, CA
phone: 1-800 777-4362. This book gives ideas and step-by -step instructions on
how to put them together and gives ideas on story writing.
2. By the same authors as #1 - Making Big Books with Children, for Level K-2,
1989. The size of this book is 11 x 17 closed, and shapes can be cut out and
stories can be written on them.
3. How a Book is Made- written and illustrated by Aliki, Harper and Row
Publ.1986. This a children's story book that goes through all the steps of
writing, illustrating and commercial printing and bionding of a book. I have
also done quite a number of book arts workshops for K-12 age groups, from
teaching pop-up books to simple pamphlet books, to papermaking.
I also had a request to post my resources to the list. Hopefully some of you
will find these interesting/helpful.
