Fun with String

Summary: I love this book!
Review: I first saw this book in the public library. The book was so old and well used I was afraid it was out of print. I'm so glad to have found it here. It is such a great book, it's the kind you want to keep on hand. I didn't want to have to run to the library, and hope it was there, every time I wanted to use it. It's not just for kids, it's just kid sized. This book shares the history of and useful information of some of the knots. It's well illustrated and has clearly written instructions so I can learn to make the knots. My 10 yr. old son loves this book too. This book has a wide variety to choose from: -Magic with String and Rope, -Knots, Splices, Fancy Knot Work, -Useful Things Made From Rope and String, -Braiding, -String Games and Figures.

My son & I ARE having lots of fun with Fun With String.

Review: Je l'ai acheté pour les jeux de ficelle. Il consacre deux chapitres aux jeux de ficelle Pas si intéressant, il a un air de déja vu.
