This is the best book on miniature bear making I've encountered. The author leads you thru the easiest to the most difficult with ease. You don't have to buy this book for one or two favorite patterns, all of them will be your favorite. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to make miniatures.
Debbie Kesling's book has given me hope that even I could make a miniature teddy bear. After seeing her work up close, I was certain I could never manage the mastery evident in each bear she creates. During the years I taught crafts, I never ran across a more clearly written how-to book, especially with such detailed photographs and a willingness to share secrets to success learned from years of experience. Her book is typical of her work... precise, well-composed and full of substance.
If you love making miniatures you will love making this gorgeous little bears the only porblem is once you start you cannot stop.The instructions and patterns are very easy to follow specially if you start from 1st project and go right through the book.

The photos are sharp and detailed and give the user an excellent picture of each step in the process. This book is absolutely number one!

Explaining the hows and wherefores of making any kind of craft item is difficult at best. Especially when you have to do it totally in print. But Debbie Kesling has succeeded beautifully. Not only is this book well written with clear explanations, the photos are beautiful. Anyone even mildly interested in the art of miniature bearmaking will find this book enlightening and entertaining. I have been making miniature bears myself for 7 years and learned a thing or two from Debbie's wonderful book.
