Some of the patterns are brilliant. For example, the 'tigerskin' rug is a masterpiece. --Wendy Knits

If you like animals and want to knit some animal-inspired items for your home or to wear without actually harming any animals, this book has a lot of great ideas. Some of these might be fun for kids who are fans of animals, too. --About.com/Knitting
