Reviews
Here's an unusual series. Instead of grouping projects by season or technique, these books strive for variety. Each offers something for everyone: solo activities for introverts, safe activities for kids who live in not-so-safe neighborhoods, physical activities for sporty people, and sit-down projects for kids with limited mobility or who don't feel like running around. Conversation starters and writing prompts are interspersed with experiments, community projects, and ways to burn off excess energy. Also notable is the inclusion of multigenerational activities such as 'Compare Childhoods' (Neighbors) and 'Family Tree' (Family). The books showcase multicultural awareness and safety consciousness and feature bright, friendly photos, including details where instructions warrant. Readers are encouraged to reach out, learn from others, and be helpful. VERDICT The large variety of activities means readers will always be able to find something to do that matches up with on-hand resources--including human resources. --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple --Journal
Author Information
Paul Mason is a prolific author of children's books. Today he lives at a secret location on the coast of Europe, where his writing shack usually smells of drying wetsuit (he's a former international swimmer and a keen surfer). Eva Sassin is a freelance illustrator born and bred in the buzzing city of London. She has always loved illustrating, whether it be scary, fun monsters or cute, sparkly fairies. She is constantly drawing and carries a sketchbook everywhere . . . she has even drawn on the back of receipts if she's forgotten it! Eva loves combining her characters with unusual textures to give them more depth and keep them interesting. In her free time, she travels around London to visit exhibitions and small cafes where she enjoys sketching up new ideas and characters. She is also a massive film buff!
