"Information accompanies step-by-step instructions on how to craft with leaves. The text level and subject matter are intended for students in grades 3 through 8"-- - (Baker & Taylor)

Each type of tree has unique leaves with a beauty all their own. Why not show them off? This engaging title introduces eight leaf-based crafts for kids, ranging from a short and sweet leaf hedgehog to an intricate leaf wall hanging. Informative text introduces each step-by-step craft, and features such as supply lists, craft tips, and nature safety rules offer additional information. - (Bellwether Media)

School Library Journal Reviews

Gr 3–8—Many of the eight projects in these books are, to be frank, a little dicey. Natural materials are not always easy to work with, and in many cases, the amount of connective material (string, glue, tape) is equal to or exceeds the amount of natural material in use. A sand bowl is made with equal parts sand and an unspecified type of glue; in our tests it wouldn't hold together. A painted rock turtle, hot glued together, fell apart under its own weight when moved. VERDICT This series suffers from inconsistent layouts that make steps hard to follow and a nonstandard placement of materials lists. Projects are not likely to yield satisfying results.
