The Making of a Children’s Book
From Idea to Print
Every year thousands of new books are published. You can get a notion of that vast number at the large book fairs in Frankfurt or Leipzig. The companies producing the books that are presented here are called publishing houses. Some of the publishing houses also present books here that have been made especially for children who are learning to read. For instance this book about “Magical Animal Stories”. But how exactly are the books made which are presented here? What does a publishing house do? What people and what ideas are responsible for the publication of a book? What has to happen for a book to be printed and for us to be able to buy it in a bookstore and read it? Let’s turn back time a little and watch how, for instance, this book with the magical animal stories was produced.
