This is a book to share between kids and adults. There is a note to adult helpers at the beginning, discussing the possible need for adult help while encouraging the child to do as much as possible independently. The book has a nice introduction to woodworking techniques and tools. Then, it describes five projects with varying degrees of difficulty (noted). Each project has a materials list, concise instructions and photos to illustrate the steps.
Typical non-fiction elements are present: Table of contents, glossary, index and websites for further consideration.
This is part of a series introducing the industrial arts to elementary students and should be a big hit in your library. It’s all about the hands-on experiences! This will be a great addition.
