Good Kite Books and Bad Kite Books
by David
(USA)
When I was in middle school (early 1980s), the local electrical utility used to give out "kite safety" booklets every March. The booklets had kite-making instructions, but they were so poorly written! I wanted to make my own kite so much, but I got heartbreakingly poor results from those instructions.
Similarly, some of the kites books at the library just weren't enough to help a 10 year old kid make a kite. I finally found one library book (I wish I could remember the title) that really explained things carefully. What an amazing feeling to see my first kite fly.
I really have respect for authors who write instructional books for young readers.

As mentioned earlier, there's more kite-making on this site than you can poke a stick at :-)
