Re: Free Online Book Creation for Students

http://www.tikatok.com/

Tikatok is a free creative community for kids under 13 where they can write=
, illustrate, and share their original stories, and have them printed out i=
nto real hardcover and paperback books. It was developed by two mothers to =
encourage the imagination and creativity of their children and children eve=
rywhere. See it in a book: How it Works.
How it works

These are some of the ways Tikatok helps children unleash their creativity:

* Kick-start the imagination - Explore a fun collection of interactive =
story templates called StorySparks(tm).
* Build a book - Easily save your words and drawings with a book editor=
that opens right in the website. No extra software to download or install!
* Get social - Safely add friends, share favorites, and collaborate wit=
h other kids.
* Show off - See your books on the front page, email them to friends, s=
end them to Tikatok book clubs, and even put them on your blog.
* Get real - Order any book as a real hardcover or paperback, even sing=
le copies! Now you're a published author.
