I had hoped that my experience with carving Nativity sets would put me in good stead for tackling a Noah’s Ark, and I THINK that this lovely book will certainly help me get there! It is more complex than the Nativities I have done, but a challenge is good, and the instructions and illustrations are clear and encouraging. Very pleased that I bought it and would r3commend it!
