Picture mostly requires simple cutting, sewing, and gluing skills; Sparkle expects some rarer skills (e.g., manipulating clasps and jump rings with pliers), but determined crafters will find the projects appealing. A list of equipment and supplies is included. Reading list. Review covers the following Savvy: Accessorize Yourself! titles: Sparkle and Shine! and Picture Perfect!.

(4) 4-6 Savvy: Girls Rock! series. "Awesome women" of entertainment and the sciences are profiled in these girl-empowering installments. While the numerous photographs, timelines, energetic visuals, and sidebars are "super cool," the text is scattershot: attention devoted to individuals is inexplicably uneven and significant information is sometimes omitted. Nonetheless, the dynamic, browsing-friendly design and inclusion of lesser-known figures make sturdy launching points for further research. Reading list. Ind. Review covers these Savvy: Girls Rock! titles: Girls Research and Girls Star!.
