Over the last few years I've purchased several of the How To Draw books by Barbara Soloff Levy for my(now 11 year old)daughter and her friends. We keep the books stacked together with sets of pencils and markers and a stack of plain paper. In between active play the kids like to sit down with the book of their choice and do drawings. Sometimes they start drawing and don't stop for an hour. The books are well illustrated and the kid's remember the techniques they learn from them. Sometimes we put a few into a tote bag and take them along to a restaurant. They keep the kids busy drawing while adults are free to have some conversation. The books are fun and I would recommend them all for ages 6 to 100.

I bought this as a present for my six year old. She loves to draw and has a passion for art. I feared the book might be too advanced for her skills however I was wrong. The book was a hit! In fact the whole family is having fun drawing pictures!

No, I am not trying to sell you an insurance. But this book can be the beginning of a great relationship between you child and his pencil doodles. Don't miss this opportunity to buy other books from this author. Also, you can get the ART FOR KIDS: CARTOONING by Art Roche. If you think your child could someday replace Charles M. Schulz or Stan Lee this is the book to get. I did. You can even have some fun trying to draw and making up stories. Well, I hope you or your child gets famous. Good Luck.
