About the Author
Sarah Simi is a knitter extraordinaire and the creator, director and producer of Nudinits, the world’s first all-knitted animation. Sarah makes lots of the puppets and sets for the animations of Little Woolly Vision - the children’s division of Woolly Vision, a multi-award winning, stop-motion animation company specializing in making animation with wool, fabric and felt. The aim is to put a new spin on nursery rhymes and to move away from the computer generated animation so often associated with children’s songs online. Every nursery rhyme on their channel is animated using traditional stop-motion techniques and each puppet and set hand sewn with felt.

Booklist (american Library Association)
With a subtitle guaranteed to get readers humming even before page one, Simi and her fellow creators of the UK-based “Little Woolly Vision,” a YouTube TV series of stop motion animation nursery rhyme videos, translate their vision into these patterns for making your own three dimensional playthings. Sewers will appreciate that the 16-plus patterns are made of felt, one of the easiest materials to work with, and kids will love playing with the finished products as another way to experience the beloved rhymes. Each pattern, somewhat naïve in style, follows the same structure: materials needed, occasional tips (e.g., how to obtain an even blanket stitch), and step-by-step instructions. Actual full-size templates are found in the back, with the option to download from the web. Look for the random bit of humor (such as how to craft animal "poo")and a nod to modern mores (Old MacDonald is a she).— Barbara Jacobs
