Biographical Note: Review Quotes: "Despite the sincerity of [Offerman's] message, the book is also, to borrow a phrase from his previous work, Good Clean Fun. Many of the illustrations feature kids Offerman knows in real life, in cheeky scenarios that will make readers look twice. And the writing itself reads less like a textbook and more like a witty friend guiding you over your shoulder." --People "The book contains, as the title might suggest, woodworking activities grownups can do with kids. Like, real fun stuff! Want to build a box kite? It's in the book! How about a little free library? Guess what? It's in the book." --Bullseye "Want to have some fun? Little Woodchucks is for every kid--and 50-year-old woman--who wants to make something cool with their hands." --Amy Poehler, actress, co-host of Making It, and New York Times bestselling author of Yes Please "One of the most valuable things an adult can teach a child is how to use tools and become a confident problem solver. I was lucky--my dad handed me real (and sometimes dangerous!) tools when I was just a few years old. That early experience built my confidence and gave me practical know-how from the start. In this book, Nick and Lee make a compelling case: kids need to create things with their hands. With a bit of guidance and a few simple projects, your little woodchuck will be building, designing, and bringing their ideas to life. Each project helps develop new skills, step by step. By the time your child turns 18, with the help of this book, they just might become a true artist." --Jimmy DiResta, builder, maker, and host of Making Fun "Actor Offerman ( Good Clean Fun) and woodworker Buchanan deliver a humorous guide to woodworking projects for kids and adults... Step-by-step directions for each project are provided, and Offerman's signature wit is on display in the text and the plethora of photos of him hamming it up with kids in the workshop. The result is a boon for parents seeking to get their kids away from screens and immersed in the world around them." --Publishers Weekly "A thoroughly enjoyable book that'll leave you with a craving to get creative." --Kirkus Publisher Marketing: *Instant New York Times Bestseller!* From New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-winning actor, and charismatically carnivorous woodworker Nick Offerman and his fellow champion creator Lee Buchanan (who is also not averse to delicious meats), an illustrated woodworking guide with projects for the whole family Are you a parent or an otherwise amply sized Woodchuck interested in making projects with, or for, your kids? Or are you an aspiring small Woodchuck ready to get into some quality mischief that involves a hammer, nails, and your very own pocketknife? Well, do we have a guide for you! Offerman Woodshop is opening its avuncular doors to woodworkers of all ages in the form of twelve brand-new, family-friendly undertakings perfect for kids, from beginner offerings like a handmade box kite to more challenging structures like a garden planter.
