FROM THE CRITICS

Children's Literature

The "American Girl" series has been helping clever young girls do crafty things for several years. This delightful addition shows readers how to make their lettering the center of attention by using various colors and patterns to fill the letters or accentuate them. Letters with flowers, insects, hearts, leaves, sunshine's, pencils, trees, bouncing balls, pumpkins, balloons and snowcaps start the reader on this artistic adventure. Each idea is illustrated with an entire alphabet showing that mode of design. The original text featuring these designs was used primarily for creating keepsakes and scrapbook decorations. This book demonstrates how this style of lettering could be used to make party invitations, posters, embroidery, bookmarks and personal stationary. An eight-year-old girl would enjoy the book as much as the adult scrapbook maker. Many new ideas for holidays could be put to use immediately. 2001, Pleasant Company, $7.95. Ages 8 up.
