As you can see, the number of pages in most children's books is a multiple of 8 or 12. This was traditionally required by the offset printing industry, where a sheet of printable paper would hold 8 or 12 pages (called "press signature"). Today, although the digital printing allows for any number of pages, the offset printing is still prevalent and less expensive (for bigger runs), so the standard "signatures" and book formats for children's books still apply.

If you just have a general idea of how many pages you want in your book, and you also know exactly the number of illustrations you need, but you want to see how it all fits together, we will lay out  the book for you. You can revise the layout and require changes at no additional charge. The final layout will be used by the designer and by the illustrator as a template, to finalize your book.

If you are not sure how many pages your book should have, and you can't decide how many illustrations you might need, we can lay out the book for you in the most efficient and appealing way. We can also suggest the number of illustrations you should have and give you an idea of what they should be (with full scene descriptions). if you should have any spreads (illustration across two pages), half page illustrations, etc. We will send you the layout for revision and any changes you will require will be implemented at no additional charge. The final layout will be used by the designer and by the illustrator as a template, to finalize your book.
