From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-Following an introductory page that gives basic tips on supplies and techniques, each succeeding page features a different animal-some domesticated, such as a cat and a dog, and many wild, such as a cheetah, meerkat, and ostrich. The creatures are drawn in colored pencil, in six or eight steps. The final step has more shading. For some of the animals, final detailing includes positioning on a rock or a branch, but most of the animals are drawn in isolation. Libraries serving children with an interest in art, particularly those who have found the other titles in the series helpful, should consider adding this book to their collections.
