Gr 2-6-This book is full of interesting animal and nature-themed projects as well as several items to make for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. The 48 activities all include lists of materials needed, full-sized patterns, and color photographs of the completed objects. The table of contents has a confusing layout and the introductory information is written more for parents than for kids, but most of the crafts can be completed without too much adult assistance once everything has been assembled. Some of the necessities may be found in the home, but many projects require things like foam sheeting. The acknowledgments list suppliers with their addresses, phone numbers, and URLs. Although it sometimes seems like a vehicle for marketing specific supplies-indeed, each project carries the name of a supplier as sponsor-this book can be a good choice for those who want easy-to-complete, professional-looking crafts. But if you're looking for inexpensive, rainy day, spur-of-the-moment ideas, Kathy Ross's books (Millbrook) and the "Kids Create" and "Little Hands" series (both Williamson) are better sources.-Genevieve Gallagher, New York Public Library (c) Copyright 2010.
