Reviews

Gr. 4-7. For centuries, weaving has been a creative and practical part of every human culture across the globe. This well-illustrated collection of 18 step-by-step weaving projects, created by elementary-school art specialist Monaghan, captures that ancient legacy with contemporary flare. Divided into five chapters, the text explores the basics of weaving (with photos and step-by-step instructions), loom construction (cardboard, strap looms, and more), and potential mediums. From very simple paper placemats to complex beaded designs, Monaghan tackles each project clearly. The sophisticated design, with high-quality, often color photos, seems aimed more at grown-ups than at students, and younger children will need adult assistance in following the directions, despite their clarity. But older kids who love crafts won't be able to resist this how-to, which offers plenty of project fun. Kelly Halls
