<p>There are over 70 of the author's soft toys included in the book, and all of them are shown in full color, complete with patterns and how-tos to make for children of all ages. These are some of the most special creatures of woodland, wild and seashore--ranging from a furry dormouse to a splendid lizard over 4 feet long; from elephant, lion and hippopotamus to garden frog and ladybird; from owl to pussycat to penguin, puffin, crab and seal--all enchantingly playful yet true in proportion and detail, each a personality in its own right. The traditional dolls are equally original--from Pocket Dolly, Queen and Knave of Hearts, and Susan Jane in her period costume--to Jotho the Clown, Captain Hook, and Humpty Dumpty. In addition, every aspect from the simple circle construction that makes Guinea pig, panda, duck and snail to techniques that produce the superb Teddy bear with his jointed limbs, are detailed. Insertion of musical units and voices and the creation of expressive features (eyes, noses, mouths, cheeks and freckles, manes and whiskers) are also demonstrated. CREATIVE SOFT TOY MAKING is destined to give many hours of pleasure to the grown-ups who make the toys (and their own personal variations) as well as to the happy children who will cherish them.</p>
