Gr 2–4—Young crafters gain practice with standard tools and materials, such as air-dry clay, hot glue, chenille stems, and craft paint, in the eight projects per volume of this series...
Delightful offerings: readers will be asking for s'more.
Each book provides an inviting introduction to outdoor exploration and recreation. The series offers a range of diversions, focusing on projects associated with the activities, such as glow-stick lanterns (Camping) and a plastic bag compass (Maps). There's not much depth to volumes, but with introductory chapters, materials lists, and step-by-step instructions with photos, these are accessible ways to foster enjoyment of the outdoors. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Library: Cool Great Outdoors titles: Cool Birds & Bugs, Cool Maps & Geocaching, Cool Parks & Trails, Cool Backyard Camping, Cool Outdoor Activities, and Cool Outdoor Arts & Crafts.
Each collection of activities explores the engineering principles and design features of historically important technological innovations in transportation, communication, and imaging. After background information about each invention, its principal innovator, and a timeline of development, readers can follow clear directions (illustrated with photos) to create their own prototypes from common items--a string phone and a balloon-powered car, for instance. Glos. Review covers these Super SandCastle: Amazing Super Simple Inventions titles: Super Simple Aircraft Projects, Super Simple Automobile Projects, Super Simple Camera Projects, Super Simple Phonograph Projects, Super Simple Telegraph Projects, and Super Simple Telephone Projects.
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

the dishes. Some items call for uncommon ingredients such as
tomatillos and rhubarb. Glos., ind. Review covers the following

Kids can practice their beginning gardening skills with these
appealing projects. Lots of introductory material is followed by
simple stepped directions with photo illustrations explaining the
basics for attractive, child-size growing experiments kids can do
themselves in homemade pots--from beans to peppers, ferns to
petunias. Most materials are easily accessible; add sunlight,
water, fertilizer, and good soil. Glos. Review covers the following

Gardens, Fairy Gardens, Hanging Gardens,
Indoor Gardens, Kitchen Gardens, and Salad
Gardens.
