The book also provides options for designing individual fur markings and details. As individual animals or in a seasonal tableau, these natural-looking animals will enrich any home or classroom.

Welch eine Wonne ist es, wenn man kleine und große Eisbären oder die wunderbaren Pinguine und Robben beobachten kann! Dem Zauber dieser Tiere sind nicht nur im Moment viele erlegen. Woher sie stammen, wie sie leben und was das Charakteristische ihres Lebensraumes ist, erklärt Wolfgang Held in seinen Tierschilderungen mit dem Blick auf ?das besondere Etwas?. Und da das kreative Arbeiten nicht nur Freude macht, sondern zugleich eine ganz individuelle Beziehung zum einzelnen Tier schaffen kann, hat die erfahrene Filzerin Rotraud Reinhard genaue Anleitungen zum eigenen Gestalten von Eisbären, Pinguinen, Robben und Polarfüchsen beschrieben.
