Card Tricks (Games Around the World) [Library Binding]

Cynthia Fitterer Klingel (Author), Robert B. Noyed (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-These three books provide very brief histories and background information on their subjects. The first title includes just two tricks-one, a basic juggle with three beanbags, and another with spinning plates. Card offers a few tips and step-by-step instructions for four specific activities. Yo-Yo covers a few throws and explains how to do four familiar tricks. While Juggling and Yo-Yo are written in a straightforward, child-friendly manner, Card is a bit clumsy in some of its explanations, which may frustrate readers. In all three books, cartoon illustrations, full-color photos, reproductions, and archival shots provide visuals aids. Bobby Besmehn's Juggling Step-by-Step (Sterling, 1995) offers readers more examples of what can be juggled. Additional titles where budgets allow.
