This is a book that girls who enjoy creating things would enjoy.  Some of the projects could become rather messy, and some of the crafts seem rather tacky, but younger girls would probably have fun with it, and the book does instruct them in some basic skills, such as hand sewing, sewing on a button, and other very useful skills.  It’s a great book for beginning crafters and sewers.  The instructions are easy to understand and are accompanied with good pictures.  There are clear simple lists of supplies, and good recipes for creating home beauty products.  It is a nice addition to our elementary school library.  I think the girls will like the book.
