The Superstar Creativity Book

Melissa Fairley. Barron’s, $12.99 (80p) ISBN 978-1-4380-0128-9

Lighthearted activities spotlight superstardom on stage and screen in this spiral-bound addition to the Creativity Activity Book series. Welcomed by cartoon character Natalie and her friends at Star Camp, readers can help a ballerina escape the paparazzi via a maze; dress campers in outfits made from decorative printed paper; and complete a quiz to determine “What kind of pop star are you?” Fairley’s activities offer a glossy and sometimes tongue-in-cheek glimpse at the entertainment industry (celebrity names include Peaches Rainbow, activities introduce quandaries like two superstars showing up wearing the same outfit, and there’s at least one Justin Bieber reference). Stencils, stickers, jewels, and a laminated foldout stage offer more hands-on involvement and frothy fun. Available simultaneously: The Art Creativity Book. Ages 6–up. (Nov.)
