Pretty Good Book

I bought this for my boyfriend's little sister who is 8 years old. She enjoyed it a lot and so did her mom. There are a lot of crafts inside that they can do together, and some she can do by herself. There are some sewing crafts (with a machine and by hand) that will really be more for her in a couple of years. I really liked how this book integrates crafts with educating children about modern art. And yet, the book is not made so that the child must read about the artists in order to be able to do the craft. So, this 8 year-old can just do the craft and not really care about the artist or she can read about the artist. There are sections on art media (i.e. paint, felt, tape) and that's really neat for the learning aspect as well. Lastly, the two biggest things that the 8 year-old's mom loved about this book was that: 1) the crafts are done mostly with items you can find around the house, and that 2) there is such a variety in the crafts. Some are clothing, some are furniture, some are art pieces, some are toys. I definitely recommend this book to children ages 6-12 who enjoy arts and crafts.
