Reviews

This well-developed how-to book teaches readers how to use cardboard to make imaginative props, toys, and other play items. There are full-color illustrations with step-by-step detailed explanations and photos of the stages of assembly. . . .This would be a good addition to encourage creative play or for use in a maker space, and the graphics are eye-catching. Consider for robust arts and crafts collections.-- "School Library Journal"
What do nunchucks, banjoes and cowboy spurs have in common You can make them all using this ingenious book. We love its wild, unique ideas -- air cannons, gliders, car shooters and headdresses -- and can see days of fun coming from its 150 pages.-- "Minnesota Parent"
