It's the classic, world's bestselling paper airplane book, grounded
in the aerodynamics of paper and abounding with fun. "The World
Record Paper Airplane Book" raises paper airplane making to a
unique, unexpected art. This new edition boasts four brand-new
models: "Stiletto," "Spitfire," "Galactica," and "Sting Ray." Added
to its hangar of proven fliers--including "Valkyrie," "Hammerhead,"
"Vortex," "Condor," "Pterodactyl," and, of course, the famous
"World Record Paper Airplane"--that makes twenty airworthy designs.
Each is swathed in all-new, attention-grabbing graphics and is
ready to tear out, fold, and fly. There are at least five models
for each design and all-important instructions for how to adjust
and throw each plane for best flight.
But the planes are just the beginning. The book features tons of
cool information on aerodynamics, competitions, and designing your
own high-performing models. Readers will learn why paper airplanes
fly (and why they crash), the history of Ken Blackburn's world
record, and how to organize and win contests. Also included is a
flight log and pull-out runway for practicing accuracy.

Henri Matisse created some of his most exquisite works by cutting
shapes out of paper. Delightfully entertaining and playfully
inventive, his "drawings with scissors" are also a superb
introduction to the most basic artistic concepts: color, line, and
form. This engaging and accessible look at Matisse's cut-outs,
arguably the highlight of his magnificent career, follows the
artist as he goes in search of pure forms of expression.
Illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Matisse's most famous
works, the book relates an imaginary tale about how the colors and
shapes created by Matisse come to life, carrying the reader off
into the artist's fantasy world. It reflects Matisse's spontaneity,
his love of bold colors, and his seemingly effortless ability to
capture movement on paper, which make him an artist of great appeal
to children. Fun and easy-to-follow, this exploration of Matisse's
cut-outs invites children of all ages to draw with scissors just
like the artist, using the sheets of paper printed in
Matisse-inspired colors included in the book.
Each summer, millions of children complain, "There's nothing to
do." Originally published in 1888, The American Boy's Handy Book
resoundingly challenges this age-old dilemma by providing a huge
number of ideas for fun and instructional projects for young boys.
Everything from camping and kite building to raising dogs and
building boats is detailed for the would-be adventurer and do-it
your-selfer.
