5.0 out of 5 stars Towel Monkey book Review, September 25, 2006

We just got back from a cruise in Alaska. Every day the Steward left a wonderful towel animal somewhere in the room! When we got back, I missed that! I figured, surely someone does an instructional book on how to do this yourself? Yep!!

I bought the book and the towels and started, figuring some of these would be complex! NOT SO! I was really impressed, as, the instructions and the pictures were really helpful! All the animals are easy to make AND my inexperienced attempts led to animals that looked JUST like the pictures!

It is so easy, even my husband can do it! Making towel animals is the perfect welcome in any room for guests and to keep children occupied!!

This is a great book for anyone wishing to reproduce the amusing towel creatures that decorated their cabins on their last cruise. I really appreciate that every creature could be made with 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth. Unlike other books, these creatures do not need pins or tape to hold them into shape.

Towel animals are a feature of cruise ships that my family looks forward to each evening when we return to our cabin. This book provides excellent step-by-step instructions on how we can make the animals ourselves. The instructions were so easy to follow that my grandson (age 7) was able to make some animals. If you want to know how the cruise ship stewards make the animals, this is the book for you.
