“Ever since I saw Victor Frog on the cover of her 2017 book, from that moment forward, I fell head over heels in love with amigurumi and I have made many of the characters from her first and second Animal Friends of Pica Pau’s books. ... I’m gonna try not to be superexcited thoughout ..., but I have to say, that all things Animal Friends of Pica Pau make me so happy and I’m so excited to finally have my very own copy of this book, and it is full of 20 gorgeous, adorable patterns, full of the cutest personalities.” (Elise Rose Crochet, 133K subscribers on YouTube)
