Oh My! This book is cuteness overload. I do not know how to crochet but this books makes me want to learn. It features colorful pictures of the creations you can make and has a little theme for each pattern. For instance, if you want to make rug for a room-there may be a matching pillow. You could easily theme a child's entire room around the lovely items you can make in this book. It appears to have step by step instructions and colorful chart to follow as you craft your new project. There are monkeys, giraffes, panda bears and so much more in the charming book. I believe there would be something for any child to choose from, boys and girls alike. The author makes this art look doable.
