This book is great because it offers a craft project that most anyone can do. (Some of the dolls are so small that they are not appropriate for very young children, under age 3) The directions are clear. There is a list of mail order suppliers if you can not find the materials. The pictures are beautiful, the dolls are cute as a button, and there is a lot of room to create your own without exactly copying what she has done. I can not say enough buy the book.
