This is an awesome book. I am an artist and the stuffed animals in this book are original, fun and very charming. The book shows you many ideas to alter the original pattern to individualize your animal. Great pictures, easy instructions and very very entertaining. Great value, one of the best book on the market, treat yourself right with this book!

This is a fantastic book. The patterns are whimsical, funny, creative and beautiful. I have been making stuffed critters for ages and just love the designs in this book. I really can't say enough about it. Instructions and patterns are very well written. The pictures are eye-candy inspiration. I love it.

I have wanted this book for a long time and it is really well done. I just got disappointed when the author says we are not allowed to use the patterns for anything other that personal use to create these critters. I wasn't expecting it from a book like this.
