Reviews
"The book is set up with pictures of all the projects and then a detailed and illustrated set of instructions for needle felting and making one of the dogs. The patterns for the rest of the animals provide the shapes needed to create the animal as well as the details and order to put it together." --Crafty Moms Share blog
"I'd recommend this book for someone that has a little bit of basic experience with needle felting already. Even though the instructions are very clear, some preexisting knowledge is required to really get the animals to look lifelike." --My Poppet Makes blog
