How to Create This Book Review Mini-Book
There are a couple of different options available when it comes to printing and constructing this resource. You can:
- Print the pages back-to-back, then cut along the dotted lines to create a booklet.
- Alternatively, print the pages single-sided, then cut along the dotted lines to create a booklet.
Note: The pages do not fold to create the booklet.

I like this template. However, I find with a lot of your templates so much of the paper space is given to the graphics and decorations that there is minimal space for students to record their own ideas. The space for the students writing is often less than 50% of the paper space. A waste! Please ensure the designs are minimally decorated and the spaces for writing big enough to express an idea.
Thank you for your feedback, Tina! We really appreciate our teachers getting in touch, and I'll be sure to pass your message onto our resources team for consideration for future designs! Have a great week.
Hi there! Just printed this one out and realised that when you fold it, it doesn't actually make a book - the front cover isn't at the front and the pages are upside down! Really love it but would be even better if when folded it turned into a four page mini book. Lauren (Teacher Types) PS - if this can be updated ASAP I can include in my latest blog post!
I agree! I would love this even more if it could be folded rather than cut.
Oh I see! So it's stapled along the edge? Rather than folded? Will give it a go and add it to the latest blog x
Hey Lauren, Thanks for your suggestion. Because of people's different printing settings, we decided to set it up like this. Teachers can either print them back to back and cut along dotted lines to create a booklet. Alternatively, they can just print it out and cut along dotted lines to create a little booklet too. I hope this makes sense. Thanks heaps - Holly
