The American Boy's Handy Book: Turn-of-the Century Classic of Crafts and Activities
As timely as it is timeless, this instructive book has captured the interest and imagination of boys for well over a century.

This classic includes scores of projects that will keep children occupied all year long ― from sculpting snowmen and making sleds to stocking aquariums and performing puppet shows. Many of these enterprises have also been known to compete effectively with TV and video games! Best of all, the projects have the power to inspire the imagination and help youngsters master new skills and experience the satisfaction of personal accomplishment.
