Review Quotes

"From otters to bees and monkeys to lions, no animal is ignored in these amazing books...As the demand for crocheted toys gets larger, these cute critters get even smaller...and more adorable." --Let's Go Crafting Magazine

"If you have the basic crochet stitches down but need a little more guidance for assembly, this book is also a great fit. If you love to support independent designers (and publishers) and are comfortable with a DIY feel to the book, this would also be a great addition to your amigurumi collection." --Underground Crafter blog
