Grade 3 Up-Here's a fun book that girls will really enjoy. Sinclair presents a basic introduction to braiding techniques, such as cornrows, twists, and braided coils, accompanied by clearly illustrated directions. She then offers 23 unique styles, starting with easy ones and then proceeding to the more complicated. Each do is matched with the appropriate hair length needed to achieve it and instructions on how to weave in ribbons or beads, and even pipe cleaners in the case of a "Pippi Longstocking" look. Full-page color photos greatly enhance the book.

Easy and fun for girls,

This review is from: Braid Crazy: Simple Steps for Daring? Dos (Spiral-bound)
I am a mother of two girls. My youngest saw this book and fell in love with it. I bought it and tried several of the braids on the girls - pirate matey, spider girl, and pippi longstocking. The instructions and photos were very clear, and the braids were quite simple to do. The result was fantastic. Now my girls are braiding their friends' hair at school. This is a very fun book, and the pictures and paper and binding are all beautifully done. Much better than other braiding books I've seen.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Learned a lot about braiding. Enjoyed the book. Some of the styles are not for everyday use but you get the basic's.
