You can't judge a book by its title sometimes. Besides domestic animals, there's a village and a vardo (arguably domestic animal related, with horses), frogs, fish, wild birds, and insects. Butterflies, bees, katydids, ants, butterflies, swans, storks, angelfish, puffer fish, and a few I don't recognise. Like all DMC cross stitch books, the designs are (for the most part-- sugar pig, I'm looking at you) attractive, and presented with coloured squares (not symbols) and an appended list of show more colour numbers that the stitcher can match to the picture. show less

Expensive as color charts are, you gotta have them if you're going to order fiber mail order, or match stuff on half finished pieces, or design your own stuff.

"This booklet contains 50 embroidery motifs, all of them specially created to decorate spotted materials."
