 nice November 17, 2008
It's a nice soft cover format -- the animals are as cute as you'd imagine. Hopefully my girlfriend will like it. You might have to include something with it if you're giving it as a gift - because it's soft cover makes it look more like a simple thick magazine.
Fun but really TINY November 15, 2008

The instructions are pretty easy to follow, especially if you have some idea of what you are doing, but the animals are REALLY tiny. I've made others that were small and cute, but these are a little smaller than I like. But they are cute!
Cute patterns, confusing instructions October 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book because it has some very cute, unique patterns that I hadn't seen anywhere else (koala, lemur). It's a very nice book to look at, with its full color photographs of all the different creations. However, the lack of certain instructions makes it difficult for an amigurumi-novice.
For example, there are almost no instructions on how to assemble the animals once you've made the pieces. I had to resort to online tutorials (crochetme.com) to find this information. I think the author should have devoted at least one page to assembly and how to sew the pieces together, with photos to illustrate. The book has a great section on basic crochet stitches, with big, clear photos, so it seemed silly that in an amigurumi book, there wasn't a similar page for animal assembly.
As others have stated, the patterns rely a lot on how they are stuffed to make the shapes as pictured. Also, I really only found about half of the patterns appealing.
Consensus-
Pros: Cute, unique patterns, nice photos, easy to read
Cons: Little to no instruction on assembly or stitching pieces together; for some of the animals, you can find better patterns online

I waited for a long time for this book to be released, and i feel as if i waited for nothing! Although the patterns in this book are absolutely adorable i found that they are poorly written and that the photos are misleading.
