PATTERN RATING:Star Rating These are gussetted toys with lots of bits and pieces - and a fantastic variety. She uses the old ABC method of marking her patterns and most of them have to be resized but those are gridded to help the crafter. I fell in love immediately with her gallery of prehistoric monsters. She put good detail in all of them so they are easily distinguishable - no dino-mad child is going to complain it doesn't look right.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating She does a thorough job of laying out instructions for them and sprinkling them generously with illustrations.

SUMMARY- This is a well done craft book - and I think you could satisfy the dinosaur hunger of any kid in your life.
