Be sure to have a cover page with the title and the author - your child!

For really lasting memories, try laminating the pages so they do not fray or tear. You can use clear packing tape to 'laminate' your homemade book if you don't have access to a laminating machine. All you have to do is lay the page down flat and cover it with packing tape, overlapping each piece so the entire page is covered. Then turn the page over and do the same on the other side. Finally, trim the edges.
