This children's book is designed to show kids how a book is produced. It isn't just for children though, if an adult wants a quick overview of how the publishing of a book works, this is a great book.

It has good pictures that illustrate each of the steps in the publishing/printing cycle. Each picture shows you some of the machines involved and the people involved. For printing pictures, the book also illustrates the four-color book.

The story follows the creation of the book Green Beans by the author to the time children have it in their hands. This is a very informative book and comes with a glossary to go over some of the terms used.

I would recommend this book to children wanting to learn where books come from.
