Fabulously inspirational collection
Beautifully presented book with great photos and hugely interesting text, Fun to read about each character. Well written and easy to follow instructions. Everything’s explained, even if you’ve not ventured far into crochet land yet! If you’re looking for a little creature to make in crochet this is the book to get. Recommend.

Fantastic book
Lovely well written and illustrated book for all levels of crochet, patterns are simple to adjust if you want fuller legs too! Wide range of animals split into 3 categories of difficulty, tips included in the back of the book for all stitches needed. Took a star off purely because the yarn recommended is quite expensive for some people (£18 for 100g) but it does give size guides, how much yarn is needed and what hook so if you know your yarn you can adjust accordingly!

Amazing book!
I love this book! I’ve only completed the hare so far but the patterns are easy to understand and adorable when complete! Just received the dog book from the series and am excited to start those too! Will defos buy more books from Kerry in the future :)

Lovely book!
I like the fact that the base for the toys is a standard pattern with occasional variations and then the finishing touches are different for each. As a relatively new crocheter this has built my confidence and techniques. The end result is gorgeous and I find myself looking and thinking i can't believe i made that!

Best animal crochet book ever.
I was eagerly waiting for the arrival of this book (which came one day early thankfully!) But it was well worth the wait. If you have mastered the single crochet as well as decreasing and increasing you will easily be able to create these patterns. I've only had the book three days and have made two animals in the large size and am starting a third. The instructions are pretty clear and the patterns are very forgiving. I cannot recommend this book enough. The animals are similar but unique which I really enjoy. I plan to create lovies with these patterns next by just making the head and arms and doing a granny square instead of a body. The options are endless with these wonderful patterns. Also.. I had read that the instructions are in UK terms. This is not true. It does have an explanation for UK crochet terms but the whole book is in Canadian terms.
