Gr 1–3—New readers can work back and forth between simple instructional texts and large, detailed action photos as they construct one simple project per volume. Templates help ensure results that look like the picture. Mask and Flowers use common materials (paper, buttons, glue) and are by far more foolproof and more customizable than Truck, which calls for eight bottle tops in addition to straws and two boxes, each a specific size and shape. Monster may require the most adult assistance, as young artists cut and glue felt shapes onto a sock. The crafts are not the point here, though; rather, the emphasis is on little kids learning to read instructions and discover the magic process by which words turn into objects. Solid offerings for first-time crafters.
