Cherry Lake . 2014. lib. ed. $28.50. Gr 3-6 Each of these charming books starts with some history and definitions, a page of information about materials, and, where applicable, instructions for making supplies (washi tape, modeling clay). Decorative or gift items make up the bulk of the six to eight projects per volume, with a few puppets and jewelry items for good measure. Directions are clearly written but illustrated with drawings, not photos, which will make it harder for crafters to check their progress against the images and may lead to some subpar results. Sidebars encourage experimentation, and a page at the end suggests ways to continue crafting or extend the projects from the book. Learning to Sew, Tissue Paper , and Modeling Clay include solid suggestions for developing skills that kids can use in further projects. The rest of the set, while attractive, bring little to the craft table.
