There are lots of Mochimochi books out there to choose from. What makes this title special is not just the patterns inside, but also the idea that you can make your own Mochimochi. Yes, there are fun designs like the toaster monster and the one that eats your Ipad, but there is also an entire section on mixing and matching parts. You make this tail, those ears, that smile and one big ball and you have your very own science lab creation. Not bad. Not bad at all.
