School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-A collection of 22 unique crafts. Each activity opens with a "Here is what you need" section, followed by "Here is what you do" directions. Girls can make a pillow-doll pajama bag, fancy envelopes, flower fairies, doll furniture, a seashell baby, a bangle-bracelet picture frame, a change purse, and more. Steps are easy to follow and materials are store-bought, recyclables, and some general supplies (glue, scissors, etc.). As with Ross's other craft titles, this book is sure to please children and the adults who assist them. A welcome addition to be used along with existing titles such as Francesca Rusackas's 60 Super Simple Friendship Crafts (Lowell, 1999) and the Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbooking for Girls Only (Meredith, 2004).-Augusta R.
