Visually beautiful book. Some cool ideas - like a felt book cover and brick bookends. I like the bookmarks, too. I think this could have been even cooler with more project ideas for bookmarks, because that is an easy project to do with large groups of kids.

We will be making decorative bookends as one of our summer projects (at home).
