Why read it?
1 author picked Cat's Cradle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I used to play lots of string games as a kid. I realized as my kids were growing up, that kids don’t know these games anymore and I wanted to find something that would teach them at least a few that I remembered from my childhood.
I loved this book because it shows, with simple diagrams, some of the basic string games like Cat’s Cradle and it also includes string to get started with.
Not only that, there is a little history of string games for those who might want to know how they all started.
From Tatyana's list on for those who love yarn and knitting.
