Great job! Super cool idea, it looks like something you'd pay $50 for in a department store! Someone is definitely getting one of these for their birthday!

Very cool idea! And I like Layan's comment on doing one with a cookbook. This way it can go to someone who enjoys cooking, not just for kids. And the same principal can be used for almost anyone with a hobby. Science book, sailing book, photography book. The list goes on and on! Love it!

Brilliant Idea. Going to make 2 of them for my twin Grand-kids b/day. Good job they're a boy and a girl.

Very cute, but I'm not sure how I feel about massacre-ing a book :/ Good recommendation for a thrift store, though. Although I imagine one could just as easily "make" a book with some thicker cardstock or similar and a laser printer?

I know, it is hard. If you makes you feel better I mostly use books in bad condition (pages colored on inside etc) NEVER new books and I remove pages to use to make greeting cards and other items so the book gets well used.
