(4) 4-6 Earth-Friendly Projects series. Illustrated by Roger Stewart. Each title presents an ecological dilemma before providing clear instructions for the featured household project to help rectify the problem. Accessible layouts and organization unite the books, as do consistent graphics, although the featured dew drop leaves on each page are as distracting as they are decorative. The introductions contain useful stock photographs, and simple illustrations accompany the projects. There are four other fall 2016 books in this series. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Earth-Friendly Projects titles: Build a Flytrap, Build a Neighborhood Library, Build a Rain Barrel, and Build a Birdhouse.
