      Westing, a paper engineer and book designer, proves just how much cardboard can do in more than 20 projects inspired by her not-for-profit BrilliantBuilds workshops. Among them: transforming toilet paper tubes into brightly colored (and adorable) owl figures, building a geodesic “dome den” for the backyard, and creating wearable robot costumes. (The accompanying photograph shows two kids engaged in a face-off reminiscent of Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots, though children who attempt this project may want to be more careful with their own handiwork.) The ambitiousness of the projects varies greatly—from a modest vase of hand-painted cardboard flowers to elaborate masks, games, and race cars; difficulty levels are noted, and small photographs help make the steps of each project clear. With equal emphasis on construction and decoration, it’s a book pitched at both sides of a child’s brain. Ages 7–10.
