I had this book as a child and recently rediscovered it. It makes an excellent gift for a young child with a few art supplies. I have found children 3 and up to thoroughly enjoy this book. Highly recommended.

All the Emberly books are worthwhile, and this one is definitely skewed toward the younger side of the 4-8 age group. Even younger than four will enjoy this. If they can hold a pencil and draw dots and lines, they can make drawings. In fact, younger kids might enjoy just making the thumbprints and watching you turn them into people and animals.
Older kids may grow tired of it quickly but that's okay, becuse the Green, Orange, Red and Purple Emberly books are for them!

Great fun for a rainy day activity
I bought this book to do with my 3 year old grandson. He loves the silly creatures we were able to make out of his fingerprints. Great fun for the artistic and non- artistic alike.

Good book but...
I would just look it up online. I'll use it in my classroom fo rhte kiddos to look at, but otherwise it really doesn't have anything you could look up real quick. Cheaper that way.
