Excellent photographs leading the young artist through each step of the process to create paper mache’ projects.   The projects are simple enough to make, and yet challenging enough to create a nice a nice end product.  It wasn’t clear to this reviewer why the book is called “Earth-Friendly”, as there was nothing different about it and is the same glue, water, newspaper recipes that have been used for decades. Most projects are made from things you would find around your house, such as used egg cartons.   Some of the projects were animals such as bats, salamanders, and centipedes, while others were bracelets, microphones, and hats.

The resources listed at the back of the book had a website called www.dltk-kids.com which had a section on paper mache’ with helpful hints and tips.  Also, the index in the back of the book is very clever as it listed the crafts from EASY to HARD.    I’m sure that this will save many young artists and teachers, some frustration.  This book would make a nice addition to a collection of books.
