Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 4—Useful, appealing, achievable projects-6 to 10 per book-are attractively photographed and clearly explained. Minimal special skills are required, although some supplies, tools, or equipment must be specifically purchased. With the use of retro typefaces and signature palettes, the design of these books is unusually sharp and reminiscent of a modern lifestyle magazine. Though there is a startling lack of diversity among the children used as models, and few of the crafts are original, the clean design makes these volumes tempting choices.
