I guess it is quite an unusual approach to knitting and crochet, and this is all explained in the introduction.  Rather than the usual format of stitch diagrams, lists of equipment you need to buy and staged diagrams of projects it takes a less structured approach.  You could say in fact that it hits the ground running.  It takes a look at fibers first, showing what you can do with them without even picking up a pair of needles.  Although it does have a few diagrams on learning how to cast on and things like that it mentions experimentation and a freer approach to a normally format process.  This sets the scene, and includes projects for a number of small figures and other "sale of work" items, making this a very good book for children.  It is a difficult book to describe, other than by saying that it looks at yarn crafts from a different angle.  As mentioned in the introduction, it is not specifically aimed at children although it contains many suitable projects, but at anybody who prefers its approach.  I particularly liked the figures that introduce each chapter and then appear as projects at the end!  This one surely belongs on the keeper shelf of any yarn crafter.
