FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Uma Krishnaswami
Using this kit, complete with blank pages, cover, paper for a dust jacket, paraffin wax, brush, needle and thread, and more, a child can make and bind a journal-style book of his or her very own. There's something entrancing about the feel of clean, creamy blank sheets of paper, and the slender handbook accompanying the materials also provides interesting facts about the history of printing and book-binding. The terminology has a charm of its own, and a glossary at the end is helpful in explaining terms like 'binder's board' and 'endpapers.' The publishers recommend adult supervision for children under 4, but an adult helping hand might be required as well by children under 8 or so, because of the many fine-motor tasks involved.
