Gr 1–3—The 10 projects per volume of this series are good for classroom or library use. Most can be fashioned from readily available supplies and are fastened with staples or double-sided tape, minimizing mess. There are times when you need a craft that has a low number of steps and can be assembled from a few pre-cut pieces of card stock, yarn, and googly eyes. However, dedicated crafters will find little to satisfy them here—the craft items are purely decorative, not functional, and may not hold together for long. The simple shapes involved and pared-down steps also mean that attractive results rely on a high degree of finesse or artistic skill. Large type and steps arranged in comic book-like panels invite new readers.
VERDICT Gentle reinforcement for new or struggling readers, but throwaway craft results otherwise.
