Review by Booklist Review

British author Rowe, following her passion, creates 30 charming fairy-tale denizens on the scale of Japanese amigurumi. Almost every favorite childhood story is represented, from the ugly duckling to Rapunzel. Each features not only the characters but also their accouterments: for instance, The Princess and the Pea includes a bed, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears features a basket and picnic rug. Instructions are thorough, and the color photographs are exceptionally crisp. Up front, the author includes brief notes on materials and devotes space to techniques, such as the magic loop (how to start a project) and the mattress stitch. Briticisms occasionally creep in; the list of Rapunzel's tower, for example, mandates a crisp tube, which needs a translation for American readers (a cookie container, in other words). The results will delight kids of all ages.--Jacobs, Barbara Copyright 2015 Booklist
