Target That Special Audience, 13 May 2005
By Virginia Allain "(retired librarian)" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 25 Latino Craft Projects (Celebrating Culture in Your Library) (Paperback)
Many of the easy-to-organize projects in this book are centered around holidays or special events, such as Day of the Child/Day of the Book, Day of the Dead, Cinco de Mayo, and Hispanic Heritage Month, but many of the projects involve "everyday crafts." There are step-by-step instructions for making masks, corn husk dolls, beads, paper flowers, piñatas, etc., and recipes for such delectables as sweet tamales and gorditas. The activities do not require hard-to-find or expensive materials, and they are designed for all ages, from preschoolers, to after-schoolers (over six years old), and families. (summary by South Texas Library System)
This should increase the comfort level of librarians unfamiliar with this special audience. As communities across the country increase their Hispanic populations, the need to be welcoming to this diverse group puzzles some libraries.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing, 25 Sep 2008
By Stacy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 25 Latino Craft Projects (Celebrating Culture in Your Library) (Paperback)
The photos are black and white and very poor quality. The crafts themselves are not very inspired. I gave this one star because, for the price, the book was a definite disappointment.
