Muppet Workshop, Stephanie St. Pierre
A lively, wide-ranging craft manual that links creative making with Muppet characters and workshop techniques. Its breadth is a strength for choosing projects, while the reported inclusion of woodworking, wiring, hot wax, metalworking and other advanced-looking activities makes selective, supported use sensible.
Sven Völker
This is a visual, mathematical exploration rather than a conventional story. Children watch quantities grow through repeated doubling, then can revisit the sequence through halving, patterns, pictures and imagined real-world examples.
Expect a practical, idea-led book rather than a continuous story: it ranges from making toys and musical instruments to games, shelters, bushcraft and nature-focused activities.
Julia Donaldson
This is a hands-on cookbook rather than a new Gruffalo story: children can help decorate and assemble imaginative food while adults handle some preparation. It offers 24 character-inspired recipes, including snacks, puddings, breakfasts and simple meals.
Annalees Lim
This is a hands-on Halloween activity book: readers follow step-by-step instructions to turn readily available, seasonal materials into decorations and character-themed crafts.
Jerome Pohlen
A chronological introduction to LGBT civil-rights history, told through people’s experiences, major struggles and contributions. Its creative activities make the subject participatory, while the historical scope connects earlier activism with more recent events.
