• The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions. Jewel and Gem Goop. Make-it-Yourself Stickers. Tornado in a Bottle. Funny Putty. Fruity Lip Gloss. Magic Muck. Snow Globe. Scratch & Sniff Watercolors. Believe it or not, it's possible--easy, in fact!--to make every one of these "wacky, wild, and crazy concoctions" (and 57 more) using common household ingredients. John E. Thomas and Danita Pagel have pulled together the cream of the crop of potions, clays, and all-around weird swills for the pleasure of children and scientists of all ages. Why not introduce the very youngest artist of the house to the world of art with Puddin' Paint? Is there a geologist in the house? Make an Instant Volcano--begins with a fizz, then erupts in a bubbling flow of lava. Time for a bath? Try Bathtub Finger Paints--bathers and the tub will get clean at the same time! These truly amazing concoctions are not mess-free, but they guarantee hours of absorbed, lively, creative fun, and inspiration for a lifetime of imaginative endeavors.Adult supervision is recommended for all projects. (Ages 5 and older) --Emilie Coulter  From School Library Journal
  PreSchool-Grade 4.  A collection of more than 65 easy-to-make concoctions. Although some of the projects need to be heated and others, such as the Tropical Rain Stick, call for the use of a hammer and nails, most are mixtures or chemical compounds made with common kitchen supplies, such as shortening, corn syrup, cornstarch, food coloring, gelatin, and dish detergent. Many of the concoctions resemble products found in toy stores; e.g., Gooey Gunk, sidewalk chalk, finger paints, and scratch-and-sniff stickers. A general safety warning is placed at the beginning of the book.  With its clean layout and clear directions, this is a user-friendly project book for creative youngsters.?Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH
• The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions 2.  A second inventive collection of wild potions and crazy crafts--all easily and inexpensively made from common household items. Kids should have a ball creating such wonders as an edible ocean (gummy fish suspended in Jell-O) or a greenhouse grown in a plastic bag. Among the 78 recipes are instructions for making such revolutionary new artistic mediums as whipped cream finger paint, dryer lint clay, and toothpaste putty. Quite a few of the concoctions are edible--chocolate bowls and fruity leather roll-ups sound particularly delicious--while others make great party activities or simple gifts. Almost all the concoctions make a perfect diversion for a bored child on a rainy afternoon. The simple, well-organized instructions make the book easy for kids ages 8 and up to use, though the authors call for adult supervision on all recipes. This is the kind of craft book that's bound to become a family favorite--in time, its large-format black and white pages should be covered with the residue of many hours of messy fun. (Ages 8 to 12) -Marianne Painter
