    This book and her other book, Sock and Glove, are Outstanding! They have wonderful pictures, easy to follow patterns and also tell a delightful story! So much fun to read, so many full color pictures to feast your eyes on, as well as all the patterns to make your own fun glove critters.

    These books are 2 of my all time favorites, and the best all the way around. My children enjoy them as much as I do! I highly recommend these 2 books. Very well worth the money!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great but could be a tad bit Better
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2010
    The book shows you how to make all different kinds of animals and a few random things: a little girl, lion, tiger, polar bear, elephant, donkey, penguin, duck, frog, teapot and tea cup, bunny, donut, banana, sunflower, muffin, slice of bread, and a car. Most animals take two gloves to make except for the frog, duck, and squirrel.

    Most of the animals are very easy and cheap to make. The directions are straight forward. Once you learn how to make one, you can pretty much make them all since the patterns are very similiar. The only thing I had difficulty with was making the animals with the yarn hair, but I think I just need practice. Another nice thing is much of the sewing can be done by machine, which makes creating these glove critters super fast!

    The only problem I had with the book was the lack of variety with the patterns. I would've liked to see more one glove patterns. I also think there are many patterns in the book that could be used to make other critters, but the author doesn't ever go into that. For example, the squirrel pattern could easily be turned into a skunk- just make it out of black gloves and put a piece of white felt on the tail and on the belly. I also think the pattern with the girl could also be turned into a monkey (remove the dress and add a tail). The donkey could also be turned into a horse or a unicorn.

    It is a really charming book, and I highly recommend it to people of all ages.

    Sie sind einfach ganz entzückend und rühren einen an, die Socken- und Handschuhtiere, die man in diesem Buch nach gut verständlicher und bebildeter Erklärung - auch ohne große Engischkenntnisse zu haben - nacharbeiten kann.
    Die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, wie man Gesichter gestalten kann, für all Jene, die einen Denkanstoß mehr brauchen, sind auch sehr schön dargestellt.
    Einfach nur schön.
