The patterns are written in US terms and are by several designers. I loved the wide range of animals available. Some with cute accessories. I found the instructional photos for both the stitches and the toys clear and easy to understand and ideal as a reference if you need help.

Each toy has a colour code of what colours are used for each toy. Which is great so you can prepare. They don't use a particular brand, just a type, which gives you more freedom of choice.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I class myself as intermediate at crochet that can read patterns. I would recommend this book to a confident beginner because there are only a few basic stitches used.

Overall this is a great book that covers lots of fun animals and would be a great addition to your crochet stash.

Wonderful cute animals. Very clear instructions, easy to follow and fairly easy too. A good book for both those starting to crochet and those more accomplished.

There are some really cute animals in this book that I haven't seen other places. The beaver is adorable. I love the little birds in the nest, my grandson loves birds so I'll make them for him. The instructions with pictures are a great asset.
