Adults and children will see the creative potential in cast-off items once they've gotten their hands on these books. After a minimal amount of introductory text about environmental awareness and terminology, each volume delivers instructions for 9 or 10 useful and/or decorative crafts. Steps are easy to follow and well documented, and the projects encourage experimentation and creativity. Materials are generally easy to find. Skills required vary-the younger readers in the grade range may need a little adult assistance, but the older ones will have no problem executing these projects all by themselves. This series is original, well-presented, and bound to inspire classroom and individual projects.-- "School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"
