"Kid" craft books that adults will enjoy

Now that summer is in full swing, my children and I have been visiting the public library on a regular basis. While in the juvenile section with my children, I have discovered some terrific "kid" craft books that adults would enjoy as well. Pictured here, you see Alter This: Radical Ideas for Transforming Books Into Art by Alena Hennessy and The Girls World Book of Jewelry by Rain Newcomb. Alena Hennessy's book on altering books is well-organized and visually appealing. Actually it is appealing in every way. I found it to be informative and fun. The same goes for Rain Newcomb's book on creating jewelry. The instructions were clear and even taught me a thing or two. And as coincidence would have it, both books are published by Asheville's very own Lark Books. So, if you want to learn more about altering books, or want to brush up on your basic jewelry making skills, these two books would be good places to go.
