This book's steps make it impossible to fail. Even if you have trouble with detail and faces, you can do it. Kids will appreciate the step-by-step approach and won't feel overwhelmed.-Such cute results(and a great confidence builder)!-A great way to move kids from average-intermediate ability with clay.

This is a great step by step book, it has a variety of people, animals and furniture and landscape. Even though the book is meant for clay I bought it with the idea of modeling with fondant, gumpaste and modeling chocolate. They are all pretty similar in texture. Recomend it for all new learners like me.
