Wide variety of detailed and appealing animals

This oversized book presents many beautiful charted designs of animals set in their habitats. I particularly liked the animal alphabet and animal numerals, as well as the idea of joining several squares featuring animals such as otters and trout and quail into a carpet (though I would use it with her ivy border as a wall hanging - no way is it going on the floor!).The only odd thing was the decision to scatter photographic collage pictures throughout the book. I didn't find them particularly appealing and wasn't sure why they were included except that Elizabeth had fun making them and wanted them in the book.For those who want to do needlework animals in a classic, realistic style rather than a cutesy or country style, this book includes many appealing projects.
