I love the beauty of homemade cloth covered books with end papers and all. I have several books about publishing kids' work that describe how to do this kind of book - use fabric scraps, cardboard, etc. They are quite lovely = way better in my view than children's books that look actually publsihed in some way. Publishing is an art....not all books look the same.
I'll look up my books when I get back tos chool and send some titles. We used to do these at my old school in our "publishing house." Kids did have choices of course.
