Cut
Carefully cut across each sheet of paper, so that there are four "strips" of small story pages.
Be sure to leave the extra white space on the ends, as shown.
Fold Down the Edges of Each Strip
Fold down the extra white portion at the end of each strip, as shown.
Put the Strips in Order: #1-#2
The PDF has the strips in the correct order. Use this picture to help you with the first eight pages.
Finish Putting Strips in Order: #3-#4
Here is the order for pages nine to sixteen.
Glue Strips Together
Fold back each edge, and glue the strips together as shown.
Trim Off the Two Ends
There will be extra "white space" on each end. Trim it off.
Fold Into an "Accordion Book"
Using the picture to guide you, fold the book "accordion style." It might be helpful to think of the long strip as a series of "Letter M's," with the printed side of the paper on the top of the M's!
Glue Down the "inside Edges"
Once the accordion folds have been made, the "inner edges" will stick out. Fold down these edges and glue them down.

Notes About Pinka
Pinka started making regular appearances when my first grand daughter was two. I had purchased a set of little owl figurines and painted one of them hot pink. My grand daughter named that little owl Pinka.
We soon started making up stories about Pinka. Other owls joined in the fun, and for several years we added a large number of scenes and props. The little shop shown here was purchased at Target in 2019.
