(4) 4-6 All New Holiday Crafts for Kids series. Illustrated by Sharon Lane Holm. Illustrated directions for twenty-two gifts--some for Mom, some for Dad, and some appropriate for either--explain how to turn paper, old neckties, cardboard, felt, and ribbon into the usual picture frames, cards, and refrigerator magnets. A few projects are clever, but most are uninspired.

(3) K-3 All New Holiday Crafts for Kids series. Illustrated by Sharon Lane Holm. With felt, construction paper, glue, pipe cleaners, and other common household objects, children can make twenty-two Kwanzaa projects. Many of the projects are variations on familiar school crafts (bookmarks, woven placemats, magnets), but some, like the kikombe cha umoja (unity cup), are unique to this celebration. Ross's directions are easy to follow, and Holm's clear, simple illustrations are equally helpful.

(4) K-3 All New Holiday Crafts for Kids series. Illustrated by Sharon Lane Holm & Sharon Lane Holm. Ross explains how to make ghost pins made from puzzle pieces and masks for dolls. Like those in most of Ross's craft instruction books, these projects require a good deal of adult help if young children are to be successful. Some of the projects are clever, others are more mundane, but the instructions are clear and the illustrations serviceable.
