Crochet Animals Rugs offers over 20 crochet patterns. In this book one finds animals such as giraffes, monkeys, crabs, and cats. I love that there are more unique animals rather than just cats and dogs. I think it's really fun that this book adds accessory patterns to go with the rugs. Any kid would love to have a room with matching pieces. I have a child and I know she would love to have both a rug and the matching pillow. As for the instructions of the book, I found them to be detailed and easy to understand. Crocheters are given both the visual diagram of the project as well as step by step instructions. The book is full color so the diagram is color-coded. I would recommend this book, and I can't wait to start making some of the patterns.
