Carving in Soap: North American Animals (Schiffer Book for Carvers)
Suzuki, a biologist by profession, has written several books on  animal carving, including Soap Carving for Children of All Ages.  Soap carving using traditional Ivory  soap and wooden tools is  suitable for children but is also an enjoyable and inexpensive  craft for adults. The seven projects in this book are shown in  great detail through color photographs of the carving process  from start to finish. Several bars of soap joined together form  a block that can be carved into a freestanding prairie dog or a  bear cub climbing a tree. This is an excellent book for school  or public libraries.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
