Too Much Not Enough
This is a book that is very enjoyable to look at and if something catches your fancy you can read about it. The problenm is that there is not enoughinformation written. Another problem is that there are too many topicscovered, none in detail. If you are casually interested in the arts andcrafts of New Mexico this book will suffice. This is a good starting pointto do further research. The photographs are magnificent tributes to theartists work and give you some basic information but if you really want toknow more you'd better look elsewhere The collection and photographsincluded in the text are numerous and very colorful and beautiful. If youwant a nice overview and to look at pretty pictures this book will do.There is an adequate glossary andbibliography but if you're reallyinterested in this subject you might try the Spanish Colonial Arts Society.

Too offten the exploitation of the charm of New Mexico takes a back seat to the authentic lifestyle of the Spanish people of New Mexico. Across Frontiers:Hispanic Crafts of New Mexico is a well calculated attempt toplacate to status qou of many who simply want to promote tourism. Stillthis is a slightly better approch, since it contains some historicalcontent ... Read more

Where's the pictures?
I am inclined to think favorably of any book that comes out from Chronicle Books. They publish very good quality books. Their craft books are often first rate.Read more

An intricate and informative "coloring" book
This book contains very intricate line drawings of bridges around the world.While the drawings are wonderful and the accompanying text is informative, it is definitely not a coloring book for children ages 4-8.My 7 and 10 year olds weren't at all interested in it, but my husband is eager to get at it with watercolors. ...

Just Not As Cute As I Thought They'd Be
They're high quality, but some of the kittens are just downright ugly.I think there were only 3 that were actually cute.

I'm stuck on these stickers
All of the stickers I have purchased in the past month or so have been so wonderful.I will continue to always look here, on Amazon.com for all my future stickers.The Old Fashioned Halloween stickers by Maggie Kate are just MARVELOUS, WONDERFUL,BEAUTIFUL.I hate to give them away. That's why I always go back and buy one or more for the future. These stickers are the cat's meow.
I initially purchased this little book of stickers at a Victoriantea shop several years ago.It was so neat, I couldn't bear to use the stickers.When I saw it was offered on amazon.com, I was delighted.The stickers are nice quality and would be suitable for anyone enjoying antique or Victorian images, as well as cat fanciers. The booklet is small enough to slip inside a greeting card to send to a friend. I also believe this product to be a good value for tbe price. ... Read more

Fun in the Tub!
This book is wonderful for teaching kids a new craft.You use basic melt and pour glycerin base that's bought at a craft store, and tons of other items to make a unique bar of soap.This book has recipes for dog soap (soap to wash your dog with), soap balls that look like eyeballs and happy faces, alaphabet soap that you use cookie cutters to cut out the letters, soaps you put small toys into, and moldable play-dough type soap.I really liked making the moldable soap for my friends who had children who hated taking baths.You'll also learn how you can paint designs onto the soap with candle/soap paints.

Poor quality
I purchased two of these kits for my 12 and 13-year old cousins for Christmas.When I visited them a few weeks later, they asked for help, and said the directions were very confusing.I am an experienced knitter, and was very disappointed at the extremely shoddy quality of the needles and the small amounts of cheap yarn.The directions were confusing and much too complex for a beginning knitter.I landed up buying them needles and yarn, and teaching them myself.
Too difficult
I am actually an adult who tried to learn basic knitting from this kit (rationalizing that, since it was for kids, it would be easier) and found it useless. I ended up checking "Knitting for Dummies" and going to http://www.knittinghelp.com/ for videos on the basic techniques, and found these sources a lot more helpful.

A great book for the budding architect
My 5-year-old son is fascinated with cathedrals.He loves to look at the book I have on a local cathedral.He tries to draw them and build them with his Lego bricks.It is difficult to find a book on this subject that is geared toward his age level, so when I saw this coloring book, I knew I had to buy it.He absolutely loves it.I might have to buy several more of them.He'll have this one finished in no time. ...

A classic for teachers and parents alike!
This book not only outlines many projects which can be used in conjunction with recycling, garbage and environmental units, it also sparks ideas for other projects with its open-ended structuring.I utilized this resource as a cross-curriculum starter while home-schooling my son and highly recommend this to anyone with some extra "junk" lying around and at least one ambitious child. ...
