Helen Gibson Carves the Animals of the Nativity

Rating:
Summary: Carving the Camel
Review: The title of this book should actually be, "Carving the Camel." The book does an excellent job of walking you through the steps of carving a camel. It does not, however, give you step by step instructions on any of the other animals of the nativity. There is a gallery of photos showing finished donkeys and sheep, but the actual patterns are side profiles only--not front or rear profiles . . . something essential for most beginners. Over all, the book is great for what instructions it provides, but fails to live up to its title.
