Printable ABC book. Improving printing
This page is linked here from Wikijunior:Alphabet labelled as the "printable version" of the book, but printing could work better

The main problem is an A4 printout comes out with almost one picture per A4 page... almost but not quite. The effect (for me on safari at least) is that it comes out completely wrong. For example on Page 2 we have "B is for ball" [ picture of a ball ] then "C is for Cat"  ...end of the page. Pictures and captions are misaligned for the remainder of the book.

There's no perfect solution to controlling printing in HTML, some suggestions on this stackoverflow question. In particular page-break-after: always; CSS might work. For this book the pages are constructed in a very regularly spaced way. Each A4 sheet should have either one picture and one caption... or maybe two per page. The vertical spacing could be regularised more by making all the images the same vertical height.

I notice this page appears to have a repeating section with the 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' navigation links. These are set to not print using CSS. So that's good, but this "printable version" display is misleading. Maybe the template could just hide altogether on this page.
