From Library Journal
~Although real fur has declined in popularity in the fashion world because of conservation concerns, there are still many old coats available that are no longer being worn. Tillberg devotes several chapters to identifying types of fur, preparing the coat, and cutting the pieces to create cuddly bears. Fake fur can also be used. There are eight projects with patterns and instructions for assembly of the bears and their clothing. The finished bears are very appealing and certain to be collectors' items. Public libraries will find this a slightly different take on a perennially popular topic.
