This book is so much fun. The problem with buying play costumes is that kids grow out of them so quickly. This book is full of great fun patterns that pair with a child's everyday cloths to become a superhero, animals, or anything their imaginations conjure. I think it would be really fun for a library to do an adult program where everyone makes of of these sets, and then they are the kids department to be played with when the children are there. Some of my favorite patterns are for the birds. Literally. There is sure to be something for your little ones imagination to play with.
