5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent gift idea!, January 20, 1999

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great one for younger audiences., November 27, 2000

By	Blake Watson "===Blake===" (Winnetka, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

This is one of the greatest ways to unlock your and your child's imagination. Everyone's Thumbodies are different, yet this simple guide to turning your thumbprint into art helps everyone have fun. All you need is a stamp pad, a pen and fingerprints to have hours of fun. Decorate your letters and certificates with your own personal touch.
