Expert Advice for Better Books

💡 Page Count Strategy

Aim for page counts of 24, 48, 72, or 120 pages. These work best with KDP's printing process and keep costs optimal.

💡 Activity Variety

Mix 3-4 different activity types per book to keep readers engaged. Alternate between puzzles, tracing, and creative sections.

💡 Answer Key Placement

Always place answer keys at the back of the book. This prevents kids from accidentally seeing solutions while working.

💡 Font Readability

For children's books, use minimum 14pt body text. For tracing activities, 48pt+ works best for developing motor skills.

💡 Test Print First

Order an author proof copy before publishing. Digital previews don't show how colors and line weights appear in print.

💡 Series Consistency

Use the same fonts, borders, and icon styles across a book series. This builds brand recognition and looks professional.
