SUMMARY- There are a ton of clever and fun projects in this book, but I think the big winners are the woodworking projects(rocking horse and little red wagon, I'm looking at you!). I love the life-size Christmas carolers you can set in your yard - makes me wish I didn't currenly live in an apartment. I think this book holds up really well over time(it was written nearly 40 years ago!). I've included more information in parentheses in the Table of Contents to give you a better idea of what the projects are.
