'The Whittling Handbook' is the perfect introduction to the simple, yet immensely pleasurable, craft of creating attractive objects with nothing more than a knife and a piece of timber. Whittling is an art form that can be as simple or as complex as you like. This delightful book guides the reader through the basics starting with straightforward projects such as a garden dibber and paper knife then progresses to more complex and intricate items such as a linked chain and whistle. The tools you'll need, plus the basic techniques and how to perform them safely are all covered in a clear and straightforward way. Projects include: butter spreader, fork, cane toppers, bookmark and decorative items such as a polar bear and nuthatch.

 

Peter Benson set up the Essex School of Woodcarving in 1996. He is often travelling and runs many workshops overseas as well as judging competitions around the world. He also writes regularly for woodcarving journals. Peter's passion is centred on carving miniature objects, especially the carving of netsuke, which he has written a book on, also published by GMC.

Meaningful and poignant read aloud, especially for children who have lost their moms
Format: Paperback
I bought this book to read to my class last year. It was a meaningful book, especially as there was a student who had lost her mom last year. I had a hard time getting through it because it was so beautiful and well-written.

Wonderful book reassures little ones we are always with them, somehow
Format: Hardcover
Purchased this book for my 6 year old grandson, whose family will be moving out of state within a year. This is a wonderful, touching books that lets children know that you are always thinking of them, loving them, and always there. My grandson can read the easy words and short sentences by himself, or have his parents read them to him. Very, very cute ways they relate everyday occurrences to us being there for our loved little ones. I highly recommend this book!

Reminds children they are loved by looking at nature!
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book is so great! I love how it reminds children that they are loved by simply looking at nature around them. For example: "That inviting ocean? That's me waving at you. That clap of thunder? That's me raving about you." So cute! The opening pages and closing pages show a mother & son together, but the in between pages show boys and girls. I kind of wish the cover wasn't so obviously a boy and his mom since I have a daughter, but it doesn't stop me from reading it to my kiddo. All in all, five stars! :)
