Go Photo!: An Activity Book for Kids

Gr 3–6—Students looking for projects that give them the opportunity to practice photography skills will treasure this selection of 20-plus photo-related activities. Basic background knowledge of cameras and how to use them will be helpful when approaching this work. Among the projects are a photo scavenger hunt, "selfie fest," photo face masks, treasure hunt, rainbow book, and time capsule. In addition to a camera, users will also need photo paper and a printer. The work opens with a few introductory pages of guidelines and background info. Descriptions for each project average two pages in length and include a supply list, numbered step-by-step directions, tips, and supplementary photos or drawings. The format is consistent. Informally written, the volume is occasionally a bit wordy and sometimes uses trendy vocabulary such as photobombed and wonky. Bright yellow endpapers and solid binding add to the book's packaging. The work lacks a glossary, but terms such as point of view and composition are nicely explained within the text.
