Unless you enjoy fixing bad/misleading/incomplete patterns, I wouldn't encourage you to buy this book. I had bought several books on kitted toys all at once, and after several successful teddy bears opened this book. After trying to make several different toys from this one, I finally gave up and threw the book out. Sure, an experienced knitter would be able to adjust the patterns, but then an experienced knitter could design better toys than this, for the same amount of effort.
