Reviews / Votes
"As the author of one of the earliest kids' crochet books myself (Kids Can Do It Crocheting, 2003), I know a thing or two about how to teach children to crochet. I highly regard the book Deborah has produced. It is chock-full of everything one needs to know in order to become an enthusiastic crocheter; yet she breaks it down into progressive parts that serve to hold a child's interest without them getting discouraged." - Gwen Blakley Kinsler, founder of the Crochet Guild of AmericaAll prices
