A project our local guild has been involved in is making 'reader pillows' . It is a 16' pillow cover with overlapping back to insert a pillow form. A loop handle is on top and a pocket the width of the pillow cover and half the height is placed on the front. Books will be donated to go in the pocket. These will go to the early grade school children. I think something like this is on the internet. Our basic pattern/directions came that way.
