Lovely post. We make books quite a lot, but they’re nearly always fiction rather than nonfiction. That said, the book M is currently working on is a flip book showing the phases of the moon changing. As a parent it’s so great when I find the books months later and enjoy them all over again – even the simplest ones become keepsakes.

Deb November 17, 2011 at 7:25 pm: I’ve been thinking about fiction vs non-fiction. I’ve noticed that most of big girl’s readers are fiction, yet I really think that the simple sentence structure and repetition you need in early readers suits non-fiction better. You tend to get really boring stories like ‘This is Rosie’s dog. This is Rosie’s cat. etc’ Plus for the little girl, she knows non-fiction and it’s good to go from the known to the unknown.

I was really happy with big girl’s story, she’s done things like character and setting at school and caught on very quickly to ‘what’s our problem, now solve it.’
