Reviews Gr 3-6-A craft book with flas hy visual appeal that uses a combination of clear, full-color photographs and re alistic drawings to illustrate the processes and finished products of papier-mâ ¢châ . Wowed by the spectacular photos, children may well be insp ired to attempt to make a mask, puppet, bowl, box, or mobile. However, they will probably not be able to get the professional-looking results pictured. The book begins with a list of materials and basic techniques, complete with warnings ab out sharp knives and potentially toxic ingredients. Covering many techniques and difficulty levels, the projects are explained in clearly numbered drawings. The written instructions are easy to read, but the information provided is sometime s insufficient for novices. A dazzling photo of the finished item dominates each double spread, and a miniature drawing of it appears in the table of contents. Although most of the projects result in specific objects, creativity is encourag ed and variations are suggested. However, the author does not specify how much g lue to use, how to store homemade glue, or how to prevent warping.-Sandy Kirkpat rick, Benicia Public Library, CA. Artikel-Nr. 1330ak
