Book Reviews of Easy Carpentry Projects for Children (Dover Children's Activity Books)
Book Review: Good Little Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my son to go with a set of "grown up" hand tools he received as a Christmas gift. The book is well written with just enough illustrations...not cluttered with too much information. It's like the author is standing next to you, talking you through the entire project. Every project seems to be laid out in logical order.
A caution I'd mention is that the reading level suggested with the book is Ages 4-8...which is accurate...but reading level and carpentry skill are not the same. My son is 6, and this is fun with LOTS of adult supervision. I think he will enjoy this book more when he is in the 8-10 age range.
One other caution I would mention is that this book was written in 1959. Some of the projects - like the shoeshine kit - are a bit dated.
So, all in all, I would recommend the book, but for an older age-range and don't expect anything high-tech here.
