Children's Literature
This is part of the "Multicultural Crafts Kids Can Do!" series. A short introduction sets these crafts within Asia and suggests that storytelling and toys are a big part of the cultures found there. Directions for a shoebox stage, fans, ornamental picture frames, masks, and puppets are each introduced with a short paragraph about the Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Balinese, or other culture of origin. While the directions are simple, some omit key concepts, such as how to make an origami frog jump, or whether to keep the shoebox top on or off (illustration is not clear).

Children's Literature
This is part of the "Multicultural Crafts Kids Can Do!" series. A short introduction sets these crafts within Asia and suggests that storytelling and toys are a big part of the cultures found there. Directions for a shoebox stage, fans, ornamental picture frames, masks, and puppets are each introduced with a short paragraph about the Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Balinese, or other culture of origin. While the directions are simple, some omit key concepts, such as how to make an origami frog jump, or whether to keep the shoebox top on or off (illustration is not clear). A few of the projects are flimsy and would challenge children to find a better way, say, to use craft stocks more efficiently in making a fan so the support sticks would not break, or to keep the photo stand from falling over. Adults may have to try some of these first to be ready to iron out frustrated direction readers. The variety of crafts insures that teachers can pick a few for children to tinker with and crafty second or third graders to experiment with on their own. Older readers could augment reports with some hands-on projects as well. Templates, colorful illustrations, numbered procedures, resources, and an index (including country of origin) are included. 2006, Enslow Publishers, Ages 7 to 10.

School Library Journal
K-Gr 3-In these titles, each project is depicted on a spread that includes a materials list, directions, and color photographs of the steps and completed item. In some cases, the original cultural object is represented. For the most part, the finished project looks nothing like it, and, in some cases, the craft has no cultural significance. There is no attempt to use authentic materials. For example, American Indian Crafts states that Ojibwa dolls are made of pine boughs and then goes on to say, "We will make this one out of feathers." The result is a pipe-cleaner/feather concoction glued to a toilet paper roll. Directions for the origami hopping frog in Asian-American Crafts are incomplete. To make the frog jump, one must blow into its body to inflate it, and then press down on the back. If the project is made correctly, it will hop. This is not included in the directions. Alexandra M. Terzian's The Kids' Multicultural Art Book (Williamson, 1993) and the "Asian Arts and Crafts for Creative Kids" series (Tuttle) provide solid cultural activities.-G.
