    Excellent prices on used books in great condition. Shipped out quickly. Product condition is accurate to rating in listing. Thanks! NOTE: For this particular book (I ordered several), it came in a soft cover rather than hard cover as the listing stated. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly. They agreed that it was a listing error and provided me with a full refund for this book (without return required) proving they are both a responsible and trustworthy seller.

  • Adorable and Fun to make

    I own several of Maisie Parrish's books and I especially enjoyed this one as it has adorable and fun characters for children or adults. I find her instructions in all her books easy to understand, her sugar paste recipe works well, and always fun to make. You can take these characters and place them in all kinds of positions by using any of her other books too! It was scary for me to first make the sugar paste, but I did it and now find it easy and fun! I bought a sugar paste tool kit which is a must sugar paste animals, but I also used toothpicks and straws and other things around the kitchen. Maisie opens up a way for us to be creative and let our imaginations run! Buy this book and have some fun!
