About this title

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2–A colorful, glossy cover will attract children to this unique assortment of 20 craft ideas relating to a variety of community helpers. Each project includes a heading in a soft green, large-print typeface; a full-color illustration of the finished project; a materials list; and step-by-step directions, all on pale yellow pages. Each project has a picture of the worker related to the craft (firefighter, hair stylist, dentist, shopkeeper, etc.) holding up a sign on which is printed one sentence about the particular job, e.g., A librarian has the job of helping to select and care for the books at the library. Five of the crafts fall into the category of puppets; others include handcuffs, meal magnets, an apple-for-the-teacher pencil topper, a mail-carrier stamp dispenser, and plastic-bag flowers. This is a solid choice for teachers to supplement lessons on community workers, and librarians will find many program possibilities. Ross has a special talent for introducing all kinds of crafts to younger children in a kid-friendly manner.–Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
