Spots, Stripes, and Scales with Central Print
Tell the tale of a chosen animal by combining pressure-printed textures with wood type in an accordion-folded booklet and a time-tested writing game–the Mad Lib. Using provided bookmaking supplies, families will enjoy creating their book from start to finish. Whether it’s a housecat up to the usual antics or a winged beast resting on a cloud, your story will surely be legendary!
