Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-From cranberry and popcorn garlands (U.S.) to woven hearts (Denmark) to a pi-ata (Mexico) to a crinkle-paper chain (South Africa), these 17 projects for craft-confident readers also include snippets of information on how and why the holiday is celebrated in a variety of countries. A photograph of each finished product is provided, along with a list of materials needed and succinct but clear instructions. Small but clear illustrations guide readers through each step. Most of the materials are readily available (a toilet-paper roll) with a few craft-store commodities (tulle, balsa wood) mixed in. A worthy addition to holiday craft collections.-S. P.

From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. Count down the days until Christmas on a German Advent calendar. Host a Mexican pinata party. Weave a Danish heart basket, fill it with treats, and hang it on the tree. Starting off with instructions for making cranberry-and-popcorn garlands and felt ornaments from the U.S., Sadler explains and shows how to make traditional Christmas projects from 13 different countries. Most of the materials can be found around the house, and the step-by-step directions are easy to follow, illustrated with Bradford's clear line-and-watercolor diagrams. The focus is mostly on Europe and the Americas (there's a token crinkle-paper chain from South Africa), but there's a lot here to make an international Christmas and extend the holiday fun. The tone is enthusiastic, and the attractive design, with an illustrated double-page spread for each project, will invite kids to give it a try. Another successful entry in the stellar Kids Can Do It series. Hazel Rochman

This book was a real disappointment. The crafts described were not specifically related to countries of origin and they were very very simple-even did not need any descriptions; it did not include creative projects that would be appealing to kids.

These crafts were fun and easy to do with materials you might have around or are cheap to get. I liked the stories that went with each craft. It fit well with our Church Christmas theme of "World Peace". The book's price tag was also not too high so it fit into our budget and saved our Advent Event this year!
