Designed for children, the instructions for this pop-up craft book are generally clear. The examples are appealing to children (like making a card with dragons breathing fire), and my elementary nieces and nephews have enjoyed this book immensely. My preschool children have enjoyed the book as well, but most projects they've needed my help with (although they've come up with some admirable variations on their own). I think once they understand the techniques, they're better able to follow the instructions. Sometimes the illustrations are not precise and cause difficulty for children who rely heavily on pictures. Overall, the book is well worth the money, although I would recommend searching for an older edition that is hardbound. The book is sure to be used a great deal.
