Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 2-4-From catnip toys to decorated collars and other ornaments, exercise toys, massaging mitts, and tasty treats, this book has something to please any furry, finned, or feathered friend. Most crafts are for dogs and cats, but pocket pets (small rodents) and birds are not ignored. Each project is described in a two-page spread. The materials lists are boxed, and the needed items are readily available in the home, grocery store, pet shop, or craft shop. The cartoon illustrations are large, colorful, humorous, and inviting. The directions are easy and clearly numbered. Some of the projects require prior knowledge of the basic running stitch in sewing. Many of them offer humorous entertainment because they encourage pets to use their natural skills. The "Pocket-Pet Playground" provides rodents with things to eat and toss; the "Tantalizing Tightrope" allows a bird to perform high-wire feats. The "Goldfish Garden" raises baby earthworms for goldfish gourmets. "Cat Attack!!!" uses small items attached by strings to the fingers of a cotton work glove to capitalize on kitty's hunting and pouncing instincts. The snack-food recipes use wholesome, natural ingredients, and might even be shared with human friends. A fun addition to pet or handicraft shelves.
