With seven knots, youngsters can make any of the ten projects contained in this book. They will, however, find the projects more challenging than the slender volume implies. The descriptions of how to tie knots would have been improved with clear photographs of each step involved. The craft projects don't provide much guidance in maintaining tension for netted projects like basketball nets, sports bags, and bottle holders. Scout troops may find these projects well within the guidelines for merit badges and pins.

This is pretty good. Easy and simple. It has good pictures and pretty easy to read directions. I liked the projects that were included. I probably won't do them all but the ones that I would were really good and fun. Fun, colorful, easy, and doesn't take long to read. Great to read and good for a go to reference. Enjoy!
