I bought this book and another by Emma Hardy for my little girl because the photos are so well done, they just inspire you to go start creating cool stuff with your kids! My favorite: little walnut shell babies!
My kids love watching these two movies with us. A great deal of the humor is predictable and not terribly sophisticated, but it's well done. A wholesome show for the whole family, especially so you can remind your kids, "Now see, this is why we DON'T do that at our house..."
