5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for more advanced projects in school or scouts. Also teaches diversity, June 16, 2006
This review is from: Easy-to-Make Decorative Kites: Step-by-Step Instructions for Nine Models from Around the World (Paperback)
This is one of those craft books ideal for the Boy or Girl Scout troop leader. The designs are very detailed and they all require a great deal of effort to complete. The projects are from all over the world and they are:

*) The European Diamond Kite
*) The Japanese Red Devil Swooper Kite
*) The Oriental Butterfly Kite
*) The Korean Warrior Kite
*) The Chinese Yuan Kite
*) The Guatemalan Sun Kite
*) The Traditional Chinese Dragonfly Kite
*) The New England Ghost Kite
*) The High-tech Box Kite

There is a scaled grid drawing of each of the kites and detailed textual instructions regarding the materials to use as well as how to put the kites together. Several diagrams showing intermediate stages in the kite construction are also included for each model. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in young people creating advanced kite models, independent of the reasons for wanting to do so.
