Cat's Cradle, Owl's Eyes: A Book of String Games

This book is just wonderfuf. I played most of these string games 60 years ago and wanted to teach them to my BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTERS but just could quite remember how to get started. Finally I searched online and found this amazing book which was more than I ever hoped for. Thank-you a million times!

This is the first book of string games by this author I believe. Basic setups and simple games are explained very clearly. I already have two followup books and am looking forward to more complex games. I can make up my own stories to go along with the string figures. So much fun and different.

Using at school with fourth graders. They love it. Easy to follow instructions with pictures

Content is fine. I thought I had ordered it new, but it is in very used condition

My grand daughter loved this book. It will keep her busy for a long time..

This was bought for my granddaughters for something to do when they claim they are bored. I am sure they will love it.

Even tho the cover looked different, the book was still great. Easy directions with great diagrams I wld recommend this book for all ages

Not Exactly What I Expected- But Is a Good Intro to Cats Cradle.

Indigenous peoples used string figures as pedagogical tools. I had experience with such with grandmothers. Some of my students have become interested in them and this books helps examine some of the simpler forms.

My mom first bought this book when I and my siblings were quite young. We would use it to pass time in restaurants, receptions, long car rides, etc. It is a fun, quiet way to keep kids occupied. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I can still do a lot of the patterns from memory. All you need is a bit of string and you are set!

Love this book. I had it as a child and all the way until a year ago when a work colleague borrowed it and never returned it. Easy steps to follow, but wish there was more.
