Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book
Review: Even if you are a beginner, you will love knitting these cute animals and the kids who play with them will have a great time. Great pictures of each animal. The explanations can be difficult but are pretty straightforward.

I highly recommend this book to all parents who are tired of Barbie Dolls! And my mother-in-law loves being able to knit for her grand kids something other than sweaters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for advanced beginners.
Review: Finally, a book of toy knitting patterns for the advanced beginner!

If you know how to cast on and bind off, and increase and decrease using any old method, you can make everything in this book.

Unlike Debbie Bliss' books, the patterns do NOT require: 1) knitting in the round so no circular needles needed, 2) knitting on double-pointed needles, 3) knowledge of intarsia, 4) knowledge of short row shaping, 5) yarn overs, provisional cast-on, button-hole or lace making, or any other intermediate techniques.

All you need is two needles, yarn, and a needle for sewing up the pieces.

Thankfully, there aren't a zillion pieces in each pattern, weird gussets or anything requiring charts. The toys knit up fast in 1 or 2 evenings, so there is almost instant gratification.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for advanced beginners.
Review: Jungle, Safari, Outback, North Pole... there is a whole zoo of animals to knit here, and cute little people to match, in various costumes. My only regret is that I only have so much spare time in which to make these, and I want to start everything at once! Patterns are rated for difficulty, and great pictures/diagrams.

Summary: Soft, adorable knitted toys for all ages and sizes!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Wonderful book, Toys come in two sizes. One is chubby (big enough to display 12 - 26") and two is clutch (12" and under), just right for small hands. Kath also includes pattern changes for eyes (concerning small children) to make them safe for even the smallest child. Great Book!!!!!
