The Baker and The Bear: Read & Color

8 ordinary sheets · Single-sided · No cutting or folding

Ordinary US Letter paper, loaded as usual. “Landscape” just means the story prints sideways across it—not a different kind of paper.

Read the whole story together, then make the pictures your own. This free home edition includes Alex’s complete story and Funti’s line illustrations to color.

One landscape sheet showing two story pages with Funti’s line illustrations to color
One ordinary sheet, printed sideways. Read the left page, then the right.
How to print it

Use 8 sheets of ordinary US Letter paper (8½ × 11 inches), loaded into your printer normally. You do not need special paper.

Choose US Letter, Landscape, Single-sided, and Actual Size / 100%. Print one PDF page per sheet. Landscape only turns the content sideways across the same paper.

The two small story pages are already arranged on each sheet. Do not choose “2 pages per sheet” or “Booklet” again.

Read the left page, then the right, then move to the next sheet. No folding, cutting or assembly is needed. You may print one sheet first to check your settings.
