This is a crafts book showing children how to make marionettes and toys which look like bugs, butterflies and bats. Children can intrigue their friends with a butterfly marionette, scare them with a bat under their hat or make them laugh with a quick moving bed bug.
This book without a doubt got me through my childhood crafting years. Random weirdness was no stranger to me, and having grown up outdoors it was natural for me to put my love of random nature and of books to hard work. I'm 18 now and looking for the books of my childhood, the books which I routinely borrowed from the local free library, and this one was the first to come to mind. I remember best making a cockroach out of my dukes of hazzard matchbox car, because it was orange and so was my crayon. Kids deserve a chance to make their own toys. Sometimes all you need is some straws and string to keep them amused.
