Summary: For babies, not for kids
Comment: The title and descripstion are misleading, this book is for infants and toddlers, with maybe one or two patterns suitable for 4 and over.
Rating: 5
Summary: Beautiful
Comment: I love this book and have made several outfits from it. I have substituted each yarn making my projects less expensive then the suggested yarns and they came out perfect. I can not wait to make more from this book! They are fun and keep you thinking so they never get boring!

Summary: Spunky & Inspirational Designs!
Comment: When I first decided to start knitting, I knew I needed an inspirational collection to propel me forward. Monkeysuits was just that, and I've been joyfully knitting away ever since because of this book. Really!
The designs in Monkeysuits are lots of fun and inspirational, and the patterns themselves are very clearly written. She provides final measurements (a simple & helpful thing, but not everyone does it), and fun little anecdotes for each pattern. Also, the photographs are very detailed (again, not everyone does this -- a personal pet peeve), giving you a clear picture of what you are making. These are all especially helpful to newbies like me.
Turner choses very nice, but not wildly unavailable or expensive yarns. Most importantly, all gauge and yardage information is listed with the pattern, making substitution a cinch. Other collections, written for specific yarn companies, hide the yardage information in an index, forcing you to flip around if you want or need to substitute (of course, the idea for these collections is to sell their yarn, so...fair enough).
If you are looking for something traditional or conservative, you're best going elsewhere, I suppose. If you're a Minnowknits fan, buy this book! While I would argue that these designs are not at all off-the-wall, they are all inspired and very fashionable. And why not have some fun dressing your little ones? My daughter loves the way her "Electric Smock" swings out when she twirls! The sweaters I've made from this collection (and I've made quite a few) have all garnered a lot of praise -- they just have that certain something that draws attention.
I really do love this book. It's far and away my favorite collection, and I'm hoping that Sharon Turner is coming out with another one soon.
