If you are in need of new jokes to crack while you create balloon shapes, this is a nice resource. If you want to create recognizable balloon animals, you will find better instructions in other balloon books.

The black and white illustrations show the infated balloon with all the bubbles you will need for the shape. The connections between bubbles are indicated by arrows, but the size of each bubble isn't always mentioned in the text and is never indicated on the illustration. The finished product is shown, complete with the faces you'll need to add to the shapes to make them distinguishable.

This book does contain a wider variety of balloon animals and shapes than other books I've used. It covers basic and advanced animals as well as balloon hats and games.

Overall, it is a good visual reference for possible balloon creations, but other balloon books are better for actual instructions on how to make each shape. Perhaps this book will inspire creativity in people who have already mastered and become bored with the basics.

My last comment refers to the paperback edition of this book. It is a challenge to keep the book open to the correct page while using both hands to make your balloon creations! I recommend finding a spiral bound book so it will stay open while you work.

I got this book for my daughter after she learned a little balloon making in camp. She loves it and is able to make the shapes with no adult help. There are some very cute balloon ideas in this book. My daughter says, "I'm nine years old and I think if you know a few twists, you'll love it. Most things are easy to make and a lot of fun if you like doing balloons. I hope you try it."

I've got 4 books already and this one has designs that they don't. So if your looking for something new to make this one is good source for that. The directions are easy to follow and the pictures are understandable. Several of the images you can't tell what they are unless you draw faces on them. I even played what's this with my family and they didn't know what it was then I made eyes and smile and they all said it right away!

It also has other things besides just animal balloons. Like things to do with apple balloons and making balloon hats. Also several games you can play with balloons.

All together I like it cause it's got designs that I didn't have before.

This book is contain many form of animals with one 260 Q balloon. It's a good book but you must have some experience to twist with it. This book is not in colour pages. Your customer will like it but you must do some joke while you twist any.

This book arrived as described. Nice source for some simple to moderately challenging balloon sculptors. Easy enough to teach others from.

This was a pretty good book on how to make balloons but some of the animals are difficult to create.
