PATTERN RATING:Star Rating You get a great variety, very well marked, full-size, on separate sheets that are in a folder flap on the inside back cover(make sure you buy an intact copy). I'm not even going to count off for them printing on both sides of the pattern sheets - you should be photocopying them anyway to preserve the book for the next owner. The toys themselves look exactly like what they are called - and you don't just get a generic "dog", but three distinct breeds. That is awesome.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating Instructions are clear but not indepth or broken down particularly well. There is some illustration to support them that is helpful, and you get full page black-and-white photos of all the animals scattered throughout the book.

SUMMARY- This book was a follow-up to Edith Moody's "Dressed Soft Toys"(1937), which also had many many editions. There are excellent reasons this book also had many editions. If you are looking for just the right one of any of the toys listed in the Table of Contents, I'm betting this is the book you need.
