The cover of a paperback book is made of thick paper or cardstock, whereas the cover of a hardcover book is made of a binder’s board, heavy paperboard covered with cloth, heavy paper, or occasionally leather. Paperback books are cheaper to produce than hardcover books. They are also bound together with glue, whereas a hardcover book has a flexible, sewn spine.

There are benefits to self-publishing your children’s book. When you self-publish, you can control every aspect of your book. You can choose your illustrations, paper, content, and the overall vision of your book. Not to mention that when you self-publish, and you decide to sell your children’s book, the margins from your sales will be higher.

The average number of pages in a children’s book is about 32 pages. Children’s books are usually Saddle Stitched or Staple Stitched and are square. But if you print with PrintingCenterUSA, you can choose whatever binding and size you want.
