I checked this book out from the library and within 2 days have decided to purchase it. This book is beautifully illustrated with color photos and has large print, easy to read instructions. (I do agree that the projects seem to run together.) The term "dolls" is misleading, as they include everything from zoo/farm animals to clowns and snowmen. The book offers baby-friendly instructions, but I am disappointed that most of the photos only show the dolls with "over 3 years" eyes and noses. I do appreciate the tips, stitching illustrations (although some of these are confusing for a true beginner), and the essential/important information underlined for clarity.

I have to admit that I have not actually tried any of the projects, but I have already made a shopping list for 6 of them. I think those with a crafty streak will find that these sock dolls give store-bought beany babies a run for their money! I look forward to giving them as gifts.

After reviewing just about every book written on sock dolls from the library, I can recommend this one highly. The instructions are clearly written and illustrated. The dolls and animals, absolutely adorable. If you only buy one sock book, this is definitely the book to purchase.

CUTE, CUTE, AND YES, MORE CUTE! I was going to make some things for a special event at a convention but time got away but maybe next year I will try harder to make some sock dolls from this book. Did I mention they were very cute!. And they do not look that difficult to make. Thank you, Alice

I bought this book after already having some knowledge of creating sock monsters, animals, exc. If you are a newbie to this whole thing, this book is okay. Its a bit outdated and some of the work is not spectacular. But, if you are just looking for ideas to work off of, its okay. Visit my site at [...] and you can see some sock creations I've made.

I saw this book on ebay for about 3x the price I paid on Amazon. I got a great deal!

This book is great! I facilitate a quilt/sewing club at the school I work with. Currently, we are making sock animals. This book is full of great ideas! The kids are going to LOVE it.
