I have been having the most tremendous fun making rainforest masks: you know the effect that you get when a really talented face artist does a young child's face and you ''see'' the tiger? Well, this is an even better result and it's in 3D. All the creatures are, as you would expect, from the rainforest regions of the world, but there's decidedly more here than the usual suspects. You get a green iguana, toucan, jaguar, emperor tamarin, blue morpho butterfly, red-eyed tree frog, Brazilian tapir, giant otter, blue-and-yellow macaw and the emerald tree boa. Never heard of some of them? Well, don't worry: the book is gently educational, with a paragraph telling you just enough about the creature.
It's fun. It's gently educational and helps to develop manual dexterity and the idea that you need a little patience to achieve something worthwhile. The cover price is £9.99, which works out at just about £1 a mask There are not that many things you can do with those benefits for such a small price. Recommended.
The thoughtful child might also enjoy [[Origami, Poems and Pictures by The British Museum]]. You might also enjoy [[The Little Book of Colouring: Animal Kingdom by Amber Anderson]] but ''Rainforest Masks'' is decidedly the better book.
