Where do I Start?
Children’s Book Size Layout
Since the paper your children’s book will be printed on comes in specific sizes, it’s best to try and keep within more cost effective formats. Another point to consider is that if your book is to be sold in book stores, there are specific formats or book sizes that are preferred by bookstores (and expected by readers).
The most common sizes for children’s books are 8.5” by 8.5” or 8.5” by 11”
Children’s Book Cover
The cover of your book is a very important element of your entire book publishing project. We recommend that your cover is very colorful to capture children's eyes.
With Children’s books, the cover not only helps attract the reader, but also helps protect the book from any wear and tare the reader might put it through.
4 Book Binding Types For Children Books
Spiral Binding: 25 to 250 pages: This kind of bindings is common in children’s books.
Advantages: When opened they lay flat and make it easy for children to read, they are cost effective to produce, and
because they make the book and pages very flexible, they can stand up the wear children will put them through.
Disadvantages: There are no major disadvantages when using these for children’s books.
Saddleback: up to 48 pages: These are the least elegant book binding to produce.
Advantages: In some instances, books that do not have enough pages for other binding types may need to be saddle
bound.
Disadvantages: The covers tend to wear more readily because the cover is also the spine of the book. These books don’t
lay as flat for the reader as a spiral bound book.
Hardcover: 50 to 1,000 pages: These are the most expensive to produce but are also the most valued because they look excellent, and last a long time.
Advantages: They are sometimes selected for books for young adults as they have an excellent quality and are long lasting
and rugged. Hard cover books also demand top dollar in book stores.
Disadvantages: They are more expensive to produce and there is a bit of an excess weight for shipping.
Perfect Binding (Soft Cover): Approximately 40 to 300 pages: These types soft cover books retain some of the hard cover “look and feel” because they have a square back.
Advantages: Less expensive than hard cover to produce while still looking very good (especially with a color cover).
Disadvantages: The covers can tend to wear out with heavy use. These books don’t have the same premium appearance
as hard cover books, but are still a very good choice for children’s books.
