4-6No Sweat Projects series.
Illustrated by
Bob Staake.
Each book offers dozens of facts about its subject (balls, shadows, hair, or thumbs) and suggests a number of cheap, quick, interesting, and often clever projects using very basic materials. Short on theory but long on engagement, the overly busy pages are filled with cartoons, photos, and boxed information, all presented in conversational language that still conveys serious suggestions about projects and their presentation.
