This non-fiction books joins two popular subjects for elementary and middle-school age students:  pets and crafts.  Directions are clear and easy to follow; the list of supplies are simple and easy to find or inexpensive; and the results are pretty cute.  My favorites are the bird swing, the critter crawlspace (cats will love it!), the pet treats tin, and the pet treats recipes (which I’ll definitely make).  I would have liked to see some ideas how to make some easy doggy chew toys, but I guess I can figure that out.  A couple of crafts had me concerned; for example, the dry shampoo with glitter for both dogs and cats.  Both of these animals lick themselves and consuming glitter can’t be good for them.  I understand that it’s fine glitter, but still.  Really?  Another concern is that my dog really likes to chew things and I would be afraid that she would chew and choke on some of the items used as decoration such as jewels, pom poms, etc.   I don’t think I want to chance it.   Most of the crafts are easy, cute, and harmless, but you still need to choose carefully, keeping your pet’s nature in mind.
