I had a set similar to this many, many years ago and spent a lot of time enjoying making the pom-pom animals.  I ordered these for two little girls who I think will love them.  Has instruction book on box. Gifts, so not opened yet. Rated 4 because I have not seen contents yet. May rate 5 when opened. (Already rates 5 in my book just because it gave me some good memories of some old-fashioned fun.)  I may buy this item again, but not from Total Books.  My shipping experience with them on this order was not good.
