Primary "... brightly colored, framed examples and ink cartoons... invite young readers to make prints. Simple stamp prints fill the pages, as well as relief, intaglio, and block prints, with examples of patterns and symmetry. The author begins focusing on insects, but adds notes, suggestions, and a materials list for parents and teachers to introduce other natural subjects. A child-friendly format introduces the prints: each art project entails only 3 easy-to-follow steps, and embellishments add creativity and instruction... A final project combines all of the earlier suggestions in a monoprint... Luxbacher presents bold, eye-catching examples in an easy-to-understand, entertaining manner. Effortless fun with simple household materials and admirable results." - School Library Journal, Apr/08.
