Jumbo Book of Easy Crafts, The (Jumbo Books)
If April showers are keeping kids housebound, they can turn to these books for hours of entertainment. Kids Can Press offers two comprehensive activity books with the Jumbo Book of Easy Crafts by Judy Ann Sadler, illus. by Caroline Price, and the Jumbo Book of Music by Deborah Dunleavy, illus. by Louise Phillips. Organized according to basic supplies (e.g., milk cartons or tissue paper), Crafts gathers a large variety of simple projects concisely explained in one to two pages each. The step-by-step line drawings allow even the youngest craftsmen to follow along. The second title invites aspiring musicians to make their own instruments and offers instruction in reading music. Songs from around the world (with melody lines included) sit side by side with directions for musical instruments such as the "door-stopper sprong" and the "tin-can bass."Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
