School Library Journal
Gr 3-6–The crafts in these cheery books are not too hard, but not so simple as to be boring, and are made with a minimum of specialty supplies. Lively, upbeat covers feature photos of regular girls with big smiles. Inside, the subject of each book is first put into context, and then illustrated with seven-to-eight crafts. There is an emphasis on safety and on getting permission, and on responsibility–many projects incorporate reuse of household items that might otherwise be discarded (worn-out jeans, buttons, jars, newspapers). Fingernail Art includes hygiene instruction and ideas for making your own supplies (nail stickers, nail glitter). The completed crafts do not look perfectly perfect–the samples look like real kids could have made them, though those in Cupcakes and Cookies look a little unappetizing.
