Origami Explosion: Scorpions, Whales, Boxes, and More!
Wonderful options for novice folders.

directions for nine mostly traditional projects, arranged from
simple to complex. Full-color photos of the finished projects
suggest display methods or uses. Reading list. Review covers the
following titles: Origami Palooza and Origami

Cool Breads & Biscuits: Easy & Fun Comfort Food
Solid additions to cooking collections.
Short sections on fresh foods, basic prep instructions, cooking
terms, equipment, and ingredients introduce eight fairly
challenging recipes. Photos of three prep steps and the final
dishes accompany each recipe. Pictures of very young "chefs" do not
reflect the advanced cooking knowledge required to complete many of
the dishes. Some items call for uncommon ingredients such as
tomatillos and rhubarb. Glos., ind. Review covers the following
Checkerboard Library: Cool Home Cooking titles: Cool Breads
& Biscuits, Cool Dips & Drinks, Cool Main
Dishes, Cool Sides & Salads, Cool Soups &

Color Patterns
Good inspiration for confident artists and the less artistically inclined.
"Art doodle" refers to tightly spaced, ornate patterns made with
pens and color media (paint, markers, etc.) that add texture and
depth to art projects. Each volume introduces a few projects and
techniques (e.g., printing, collage) for young creators. Some
volumes are basic (Color Patterns); some more difficult
(Portraits); none are for beginners as the directions and
examples are too general. Glos., ind. Review covers the following
How to Art Doodle titles: Color Patterns, Fabulous
Things, Optical Illusions, Portraits &
Animals, Printing & Other Amazing Techniques, and
Simple Pattern Building Techniques.
