Woodland Crochet Kit is a pattern book with materials by Kristen Rask. Released 23rd Jan 2024 by Quarto on their Chartwell imprint, it's 76 pages and is available in kit with supplies (enough to make 2 projects - specifically the turtle and bluebird), including yarn, stuffing, floss, safety eyes... even a yarn needle). 

The 12 included amigurumi stuffies are cute and simple. They're shaped very simply and will be do-able by everyone including beginners, with a little extra help from google/youtube. The author has included a general how to crochet tutorial as well. The instructions are well written, and abbreviations key is included in the book. 

The patterns are shown on the cover and include: owl, fox, fawn, beaver, raccoon, squirrel, mouse, skunk, hedgehog, bunny, bluebird, and turtle. Each tutorial includes tools and supplies needed, step by step instructions, and a picture of the finished doll. Tutorials also include process photos with construction and finishing directions. 

Four stars. This would be a fun craft activity for groups/camp/scouting, as well as for a nice family activity, and obviously for gift giving. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
