- Glue the pictures on different pieces of paper.
- Write the parts of your story under the pictures on each page. You can also print out your story and cut it apart and glue the appropriate sections onto the related pages.
- Set aside your pages until the glue dries.
- Once all the glue has dried, put the pages of the book in the proper order.
