Reviews

• Pysanky are colorful and intriately designed Ukrainian Easter eggs. This activity book explains what pysanky are, what their designs mean, and how they were used historically. There are several beautiful examples of traditional designs, which children are encouraged to color or paint. There are also word puzzles, activities that incorproate reading, writing, science, and math; suggestions and techniques for dying Easter eggs; and games to play with colored eggs.
  
  Sturdy, informative, and fun to use, this would be a useful resource for primary-level teachers seeking material with Easter and/or Ukrainian themes. Recommended. (Deborah Dowson, Canadian Book Review, Children's Literative : Arts, Crafts, Collecting)
