Nonfiction; crafts/sewing. Really neat book for making sock dolls, which thoroughly explains the various techniques. It suffers somewhat from poor cover art that really doesn't do justice--the tween dolls would have made much better cover models. I would also recommend Stupid Sock Creatures as well as Sock and Glove. ( )

If you want to make sock creatures, do not buy this book! Book Two (by the same author) is a MILLION times better. ( )

Only issue I had with this is that I had to go and buy socks to make the creatures. In John Murphy's books you can use odd, old socks. ( )
