From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-7-This book combines three previously published titles, Geology Crafts for Kids (1998), Science Crafts for Kids (1997), and Geography Crafts for Kids (2002, all Lark). The original texts and photographs remain unchanged, with minimal reorganization of sections to prevent duplication. Step-by-step instructions and simple black-and-white illustrations clearly outline how to construct the projects, while color photographs make them attractive. Sidebars illuminate scientific concepts and present relevant, interesting tidbits. In the first section, the sidebars contain text laid over busy graphics, making them difficult to read. The projects are in large part difficult; numerous crafts require the use of sharp objects or tools, and adult assistance. Also, many require materials from hardware or art-supply stores. However, from a solar food dryer to a primitive kiln, the selection of crafts is outstanding. In trying to entice reluctant scientists, this title will likely bring success.
