This is a very simple step by step drawing book. It uses shapes and lines to create some impressive looking animals. The book uses colors that are eye catching and appealing to children. Both my 5 year old daughter and I learned to draw some great looking animals. This book and others in the series helped a hopeless artist survive kindergarten homework that required drawing.

My son is 6 years old and he loves this book. The instructions are very clear, he has no difficulty in following them. He has created dozens of pictures since buying the book and is quite happy to spend hours simply making pictures. He gets a real sense of accomplishment from being able to create the pictures. I highly recomend this book.

This was a great book for kids to learn to draw animals from. My 5 1/2 year old daughter is really into it, and even the boys in the neighborhood enjoy using it too!

this book has really easy to follow step by step instructions that walk you through drawing all kinds of different animals. There is a cat, lion, rabbit, dolphin, monkey, lizard, teddy bear, hen, tiger, frog, horse, turtle, flamingo, reindeer, and a bee. Most drawings are only 4-5 steps each.
My 4 year old was easily able to follow the instructions. Steps are numbered so no reading is required. This is a great book and lots of fun

I am currently buying this book for my nephew as a stocking stuffer. I bought this book for my 10 year old daughter 3 years ago, but I have to tell you that my whole family still uses it. Great illustrations, not to mention easy to follow directions! Everytime my daughter has a poster project that entails drawing a animal we pull this book off the shelf. I recommend this book to anyone.

I bought this book for my daughter when she was 3. She was drawing stick people and I wanted to give her ideas of other things she could draw using simple shapes. We used a big white board and drew animals together. Now, at age 4, she draws really cute simple animals all by herself. She gets this book out, her paper and crayons, and loves making pictures for everyone.

I like this book because its ideas are fun, easy to do, and the outcome is very nice.

This book is terrific, non-intimidating and easy to follow. It sparks creativity by giving further ideas to draw for each illustration. Even the 5th graders at the school I teach art at love this book.

I bought this book last year for my then 7 year old daughter who absolutely loves it still. Its simple step by step instructions make it easy for her to follow on her own. Her drawing skills have improved greatly since using this book. She even took it to her 2nd grade class, and her classmates loved it as well. They all wanted turns using it. Great book for the price! This year I bought it for my nieces & nephews for Christmas ranging in ages from 5-9.

I love to brag about my daughter's talents but have to admit drawing is not one of them! My five year old daughter would not complete some work in school that had to do with drawing. One time she even broke down crying in school when asked to draw a book so I knew I needed something to help her. This book is great! Very basic. Makes it so easy to learn! I showed my daughter the book and said `Follow the steps and draw the cat' She drew the cat and started laughing! She was so happy she could draw and it was so easy, no frustrations! I love it so much I bought more of these books! So if your child has lots of trouble drawing you should really try this book!
