School Library Journal (11/01/2001)
Gr 3-5-The authors of The Kids Campfire Book (Kids Can, 1998) are back with more activities. With its one-color (green) illustrations, Winter Handbook has a vintage look reminiscent of an old-fashioned craft book. Most of the projects are inexpensive to make, and supplies are easy to obtain, making these interesting alternatives to holiday boredom or too much TV. Many of the activities, especially those that are science related, are also suitable for the classroom. Although the instructions aren't always consistent on when adult assistance is needed, generally the projects can be handled by children with little, if any, supervision. A few crafts involve drilling holes, and one recipe calls for boiling maple syrup, but most use only readily available materials and kids' ingenuity. While several of these ideas can be found in other titles, some of them-crokinole (a game), ice candles, record baffles (to fool squirrels that steal from your birdfeeders), and instructions for making your own snowshoes-are unique.-Laurie Edwards, Dauphin County Library System, Harrisburg, PA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
