This book is really cute! It combines poetry, crafts, and just plain silliness that is sure to appeal to kids of all ages. To capture their attention, it does start with a silly poem with some clever puns about repurposing a toilet into a planter. I don't know that I would want such a thing in my garden, but some of the other ideas, such as the shoe as a birdfeeder, may work.

The poems offer up some silly suggestions for what to do with these found treasures. Those ideas are shown in clever drawings, with the real project being shown in a photograph.

The big problem is, there are no instructions as to how to make any of these fun projects! I do appreciate the inspiration, but now I want to know how to make a couple of them. Yes, some things like the aforementioned toilet planter and shoe birdfeeder are easy enough to figure out. Some of the later designs, though, such as a boat turned into a bench, a real life car as a bed, or a shopping cart chair would definitely be more complicated. A more practical idea is the purse made out of an old pair of jeans. That is something I could see myself making as a gift. My guess is that the authors simply wanted to share some fun ideas upon which they have come across. I just want more!

I gave it 3.5 stars.
