I purchased the Cute Book by the same authors and loved it, so I purchased this book as well. The dolls in this book are identical to the Cute Book, except they are larger and more three dimensional. There are only two new characters, penguins and a smaller sprite. If you don't already have the Cute Book, this is a great one to get. If you have the Cute Book, you may not want Cute Dolls. You would probably be better off enlarging the patterns like the Cute Book suggests in the begining, because that is what Cute Dolls ended up doing. If you want new designs, definately get Fun Dolls instead.

In "The Cute Book", readers were treated to patterns for making small felt versions of many of the Aranzi Aronzo characters (if you aren't familiar with the Aranzi Aronzo characters, check out the Aronzo website, '[...] - they're sort of like the Sanrio/Hello Kitty characters, only with more personality). "Cute Dolls" is another book of patterns for making Aronzo character dolls (18 patterns in total), but this time, the patterns are for full sized (8 - 12 inch) dolls, most of which are made from jersey cloth (t-shirt fabric).

As with "The Cute Book", the patterns are very easy to follow. The instructions are fully illustrated, making it so that you don't even need to read the words in order to make these dolls. The book is beautifully presented, with colour photographs throughout and the captions on each of the pictures are hilarious (for example "Make us cute or we'll be angry!").

This is the second book in the Aranzi Aronzo "Let's Make Cute Stuff" series. People who enjoy this book should also consider purchasing the other books in this series: "The Cute Book", "Fun Dolls" and "Cute Stuff".

I discovered this book by accident while browsing and bought it on impulse, and I'm so glad I did. The dolls are all cute and simple to make, with easy-to-follow instructions, including illustrations to show you what each step looks like. The projects are narrated by the first two dolls in the book, White and Brown Bunnies. White Bunny isn't so good at crafts, so Brown Bunny shows her how it's done. Absolutely adorable, and now all of the Aranzi Aronzo books are on my wishlist.

This book is AWESOME!!! I love it and I am definatly going to buy all of the other corasponding books. When I actually made the white bunny it was so easy and fun. All the fun directions really make you read everything before you start, so it is very informitive. SO SO SO HAPPY!!!

This book is better than I expected. It has so many craft toy ideas - all that are easily achievable even if you are a beginner. The dolls/animals are so cute and I will be kept very busy making them all. I really recommend this book as it is perfect for those wanting ideas and patterns for kids toys.

This is the first doll book I've been interested in. The instructions are funny, simple and easy to follow. I've made the spacey bear and the panda and both are just adorable. Planning on making them all! I wish the full size patterns were included (you have to use a copy machine to enlarge some of them). Happy crafting.

This is a fabulous book for making cute two-dimensional dolls! Since the recommended fabric for these dolls is jersey knit- I use old t-shirts to make them! Recycling and crafting all in one! Most of the patterns in this book are recommended to enlarge on a photocopier- or you can make smaller versions without enlarging. These dolls are great to hand sew- making it a great little craft for all ages!

I have really enjoyed looking this book over, and have chosen more than one pattern to try. the patterns and directions are clear and concise.

I dont know how to use a sewing machine and the instructions in the book were super simple with great results.

My niece and I used one pattern from this book to give as a gift for a Baby Shower. The mother-to-be was thrilled! I, then, used 2 other patterns for another gift with the same results. The patterns and instructions are well written and easy to follow. Hints are given (with pictures) to give extra help. The only problem a person may have is getting the patterns copied to the correct size--I went to the local library and used their copier; however, if you do not have access to a copier that does enlargements, this book would not be for you.
