Great book!
Animals are so cute. I can't wait to make them for my daughter's birthday. Step by step instruction. Very easy to follow. You don't need to buy many tools to make these animals. Great book to have for birthday cake or any occasion.

worth
Looking at the pictures for the first time, I just thought it was not so interesting at all.
The elephant for example does not look anything special, in my opnion.
However, the animals are not only the basic ones we see everywhere.

The panda, frog, snake are really inspiring.
