Gr 4–8—Eating a cat's head or using a hamster to pass notes to a friend: crafters can do all that and more, via custom cake pops and origami note cards. A variety of skills are put to use as readers learn how to bake healthy treats for their pets, decoupage a pet care notebook, or braid a dog toy out of strips of an old T-shirt. Sidebars suggesting additional projects and tips for taking good animal photographs are included in each volume.
VERDICT Solid choices for animal lovers, who will enjoy making projects that proclaim their passion.
These books' crafts for dog- and cat-loving kids--some items are treats and toys for pets, others are pet-related items for people--will be lots of fun for those who can follow the steps, which vary in difficulty. Finished products are shown in color photos on unfocused spreads with crafting and pet-care tips in pop-outs. The publisher's website offers additional patterns and templates. Ind. Review covers these Pet Projects titles: Cool Cat Projects and Designer Dog Projects.
