The universe of Klutz Building Cards is expanding. Its Big Bang came in the fall of 2005 with the release of Castles. Last Spring, with Pirate Ships, the expansion accelerated at warp speed -- to this season's release, How to Build Spaceships. Just like its predecessors, How to Build Spaceships comes with sturdy, full-color, slot-together cards. The artwork is by renowned sci-fi illustrator, Scott Grimando.

Follow the book's step-by-step guidelines to assemble the cards into the space-ship shown on the cover. Or engineer your own. All the cards to ALL the books fit together so you could make the world's first space-going pirate ship with a medieval drawbridge.
