5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent concept and fun!, February 14, 2009

My son is five and got this as a Christmas gift. I hid it from him until a long car trip presented itself. This book is filled with great drawing prompts! My son had so much fun and it kept him very occupied. I now have several other ones on his wish list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book but needs new binding, January 4, 2010

By	Supermom (Villa Park, IL, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Boys' Doodle Book: Amazing Pictures to Complete and Create (Paperback)

My son received this for xmas and it's really terrific. Tons of interesting subjects to choose from and surely enough variety to spark any imagination. The only thing wrong with this book is the binding. It is glued at the spine and doesn't lie flat enough for drawing in. I didn't give this to my son immediately for that reason because it would have frustrated him. What I did, however, was take the book to a local copyshop and had them slice off the existing binding and instead spiral bind the entire book. Now it's perfect because it lies completely flat. It cost a few dollars for the spiral binding but it's totally worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! It seems like it was created for my son!, July 22, 2009

By	Tracy Robbins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Boys' Doodle Book: Amazing Pictures to Complete and Create (Paperback)

My son thought this looked great. Still, I didn't know if it was something he truly would end up working on. We purchased it yesterday. In the car, he asked if we had a pencil. He immediately began finding pages he wanted to fill in. The subjects were perfect for him. It gives the child prompts for subject ideasl. However, because the drawing is partially started, it also gives them stylistic drawing ideas that they might use to help them complete the drawing, thus increasing their awareness of drawing approaches to shape and line and texture. After excitedly completing several drawings he exclaimed, Look! page one is design your own robot! We all laughed as robots are his absolute favorite thing to draw and design. Anyway, he started drawing yesterday and hasn't stopped. He woke up this morning and continued. I think he has a good portion of the book finished. I can't think of any downside of this purchase, worth every cent for us!
