April 30, 2009: When my sister and I first looked through this book we we're both laughing out loud at the incredible, personality filled sock creatures Daniel has created. His photographic setting are just plain fun! I have made several and more are ready to emerge- its amazing how much fun they are to make. Uses basic hand sewing - children age 8 and up could do this with adult supervision. I highly recommend it. Even if you don't sew the photos in this book will make a great coffee table addition and guaranteed to make you smile
