"Advanced knitters looking for a new challenge will find one in Crowther's beautiful designs, and children will love the whimsical results." ~Publishers Weekly

"While there are many knitting patterns available for stuffed animals, there are fewer that include clothing for those animals, and even fewer with clothing that can be fully removed and used on other softies. Crowther does all of the above with the 13 intermediate-level patterns for animals included here, ranging from those commonly kept as family pets to farm animals and woodland critters." --Booklist
