Woodworking toys
This is a nice book for making wood toys. Unfortunately I had to send it back because it was too advanced for ny grandson who is just learning how to carve and whittle.

A Must for Toy Making.
I make wooden toys for a local Chinese church in my area. I am always looking for new designs with patterns and instructions easy to follow. I made the majority of the toys in this book last year and had no problems with the instructions. Very easy to follow and copy the patterns on my printer. If you enjoy making wooden toys, I would highly recommend getting this book.

Wonderful wodden toys
I was very impressed with this book and I think that I will be able to make quite a few of them with the tools I have. The instructions are very good, and the first part of the book is not wasted with pages of pictures showing the tools you need.
