Horn Book Review

Clean, colorful illustrations enable readers to visualize the execution of complicated knotting projects. Lucid steps and diagrams along with photos of the finished items add the enticement kids need to try making ten items, including a bottle holder, rope ladder, swing, and dog leash. Patient, determined handcrafters will be able to follow the straightforward text. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
