Gr 2-6--A lot of craft books focus on recycling/upcycling used materials. What sets this series apart is its exceptional design and each book's ridiculously fun "narrator"--a cup, T-shirt, water bottle, and paper wad whose enthusiastic expressions and gestures egg the reader on. Most of the 10 to 11 projects in each book are not new, but they distinguish themselves with foolproof step-by-step instructions. Each step is accompanied by a photo, and the instructions are good enough to print and include in craft kits where in-person activities are not an option. A nice mix of useful and decorative items ensures there is something for everyone. VERDICT Appealing projects made with recycled or on-hand materials, extremely helpful instructions, and a great design make this series a winner.
