Synopsis

Even though cats are known to be independent, they often still like to play, scratch, and snuggle with their owners. Readers can show how much they love their cat, and cats in general, by enjoying the more than 10 superfun crafts in this book. Felt toys, a cat wand, and catnip blanket are just some of the fun results for kitty, while readers can enjoy making a cat frame and pillow for themselves. Age-appropriate instructions guide readers through each step of the craft as full-color photographs aid them through the toughest parts.

About this title

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-5Eleven crafts per volume let readers pamper, play with, and celebrate their animal companions. This well-designed series provides amply illustrated instructions for kids to decorate a picture frame, make a toy, or create a practical item, such as a chew ball to keep a pet bunny from gnawing on all the furniture. Each book includes a technique section at the front (some overlap between volumes), and every craft includes a suggested variation. Techniques and materials are pet-friendlycardboard or repurposed fabric is sewn, painted, braided, or glued with nontoxic glue. Sidebars reveal genuinely interesting tidbits with a little fancy vocabulary tossed in (bunnies are crepuscular). Dog is the standout here, with a real dog modeling some of the crafts (most of the other photos of animals and children are stock). VERDICT Cute and achievable functional and decorative items. A great addition to crafting collections.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
