The Crafty Art Book

Jane Bull. DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley), $12.99 (48pp) ISBN 978-0-7566-0550-6

In the paper-over-board The Crafty Art Book by Jane Bull (The Rainy Day Book), the opening ""crafty kit"" section informs readers of the materials needed to do the projects within: yarn, paint, scissors, needles, buttons and fabrics. The author then gives simple instructions (accompanied by step-by-step photographs) for projects that include cross-stitch samplers, bean bag pals (such as Pirate Pete), and patterned papers and decorative boxes in which to wrap up the handcrafted gifts. .
