i think the book is good for a lot of people who are in to strings and other things that would keep people busy. i also like that this book would teach alot of people what other nations do when they have free time. when i frist read this book i was in the 7th grade and i loved it i also learned most of the tricks and i would love to read it again so i could learn more.
Customer Review: Excellent guide to an old folk favorite
Camilla Gryski does an excellent job of taking her readers step by step through the process of creating these figures and playing these games. More than any other books I have used on the topic, her directions will allow those who need words, those who need drawings, and those who need the sequence of steps to follow along and be successful. This book is one of three in her series on string figures, and gives several variations on the game of Cat's Cradle. Some may be familiar to readers, but others may not be so common. Other basic figures are also introduced in this volume. To get started in this enjoyable pastime with minimal frustration, I highly recommend this book.
