"The colourful (cover) cartoon of children busy in their world of discovering the artist through wood technology is captivating."

"I give the front cover an excellent rating for its attention-grabbing graphics layout."

"I found the arrangement of knowledge and skills to be consistent with the thought processes that I,..., need to follow."

"I applauded the author's inclusion of the child's process of idea and outcome."

"Ideas were well explained and accompanied with sketches and photographs." -- Excerpts of review done by Bev. Van der Schoor in "DTO Bulletin May 1993"
