From Booklist:

Gr. 4-6. Count down the days until Christmas on a German Advent calendar. Host a Mexican pinata party. Weave a Danish heart basket, fill it with treats, and hang it on the tree. Starting off with instructions for making cranberry-and-popcorn garlands and felt ornaments from the U.S., Sadler explains and shows how to make traditional Christmas projects from 13 different countries. Most of the materials can be found around the house, and the step-by-step directions are easy to follow, illustrated with Bradford's clear line-and-watercolor diagrams. The focus is mostly on Europe and the Americas (there's a token crinkle-paper chain from South Africa), but there's a lot here to make an international Christmas and extend the holiday fun. The tone is enthusiastic, and the attractive design, with an illustrated double-page spread for each project, will invite kids to give it a try. Another successful entry in the stellar Kids Can Do It series. Hazel Rochman
