The book has 50+ patterns/instructions for little plush toys, almost all animals. There are some complex pieces near the back of the book but for the most part the designs are simple yet realistic. I don't consider myself a sewing person, I picked it up by chance at the library, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Amazon has it listed here (http://www.amazon.com/Sewing-Tiny-Toys-Carolyn-Vosburg/dp/0873417879). It seems to be out of print but you could probably find a used copy or borrow one.

The bat (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/153995.html) I made earlier is 95% from the book.
