Children's Literature -
Summer fun with a single sheet of paper awaits readers of The Kids' Guide to Paper Airplanes. As an introduction to basic Origami, the book will appeal to both girls and boys since the instructions are easy to follow and lead to creations that actually fly. The introductory chapter presents basic folding techniques and terms and is followed by instructions and tips for eleven different types of airplanes. Some of these include "Classic Dart," "Stealth Glider," "Hammerhead," "Super Plane," "Angry Finch," and "Silent Huntress." With graphically appealing designs and "Impressiveness" and "Complexity" starred ratings on every page, the book also highlights glossary terms related to flying within each chapter. An eight-word glossary page repeats these words. "Read More" and "Internet Sites" pages invite the reader to explore additional paper airplane resources. This book is part of Capstone Press's "Kids Guides" Series. Reviewer: Debra Lampert-RudmanSchool Library Journal

Each of these titles includes well-illustrated instructions for easy completion of games, projects, or tricks. Games takes a nostalgic look at traditional pastimes such as Red Rover, Old Maid, and Ping-Pong Soccer. Passing along these activities and inspiring children to make up some of their own is an underlying purpose of the book. Pranks , an innocent collection of mischievous (and sometimes messy) practical jokes and tricks, includes instructions for making fake vomit, dive-bombing eggs in a bottle, and frightening friends with "rattlesnake eggs." Paper Airplanes is a great start for beginning engineers. Harbo lays out the steps for each creation clearly and provides descriptive illustrations and tips on the best ways to hold and fly the planes. Folding techniques increase in difficulty with each successive project. Great additions.-Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA
