I was looking for a how-to book for a 5yr old (good reader) and this was the only thing I found. I ordered it, with some hesitation, as it didn't have any images or reviews. However, it turned out to be exactly what I needed. I was able to spend a few days with my niece working on crochet during her visit, and feel very comfortable sending it home with her to continue on her own. The lessons are short enough to prevent boredom from setting in, and specific enough to allow plenty of time to practice one skill before moving on to another. The projects are very small and simple - perfect for my niece - pencil toppers and small flowers and the like. However, if you have an older child, you might also want to look at the many books aimed at 8-12yr olds with more appropriate projects - belts and scarves and hats.
I was suprised with how comprehensive this book was and yet still was able to put across the ideas in a way a child can understand. This has been a big help and a times a focal point in allowing me to teach my 8 year old sister how to crochet. I'm thinking about trying to find something simalar to help ME learn how to KNIT!
I bought two of these books for my sons' families as they have expressed interest in learning how to knit and crochet like grandma. I was pleasantly surprised to find the instructions very easy for them to understand and nice patterns included also. This should create some good learning/bonding time together for our grand daughters ages 9, 7 and 6.
I have been crocheting since I was 8 years old (so for 26 years) and I bought this book to help me teach a class of 20 elementary school girls how to crochet. I was very happy with how well the illustrations show basic concepts...until I got to the chapter about the double crochet stitch. Although the illustrations are great, they illustrate how to do a SINGLE CROCHET STITCH NOT a double crochet stitch. I found it odd that they did a chapter on double crochet instead of single crochet and after studying the double crochet chapter, I was disappointed in such a huge mistake. Throughout the whole chapter they refer to it as a double crochet stitch even though it is clearly a single crochet stitch. It is misleading and teaching the wrong info here. They should edit the book and remove all the references to a double crochet and replace it with "single crochet".
Great book, but if you are in the US just remember that the terminology is based on the UK crochet stitches. US single crochet is a UK double crochet. US double is a UK treble. As long as you can keep that in mind, the book is awesome.
I bought two crochet teaching books for my nephew. This book is a good option for my nephew. The Alison McNicol, My First Crochet Book is a great, fun, bright presentation of toys and crochet options suitable for the very young, including boys. My nephew has a broad art and creative streak and he is excited to have both book to use.
