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.

We had bough a different learn to draw type book and had to return it because it was much to hard. This is a great starter book to give a child confidence in drawing. I would definitely by other books from this author.

I ordered this book so that I could add designs to craft projects. Since I'm not an artist, this book is excellent - everything is broken down step by step. Thanks to this book, I feel like I have a little bit of talent!

I was a bit disappointed in this book. The diagrams are a little misleading. For example, the first step will show two circles. Then the next step shows that part of the circle is missing. So if you are a kid following step by step, you'd have to go back and erase. The finished item is usually pretty cute and usually easy enough to copy from, but that's not the point of the book. The point of the book is to teach kids to draw step by step.

This is a wonderful, easy to follow book for young artists. Perfect for my 5 year old. There are several pictures to choose from with a practice page right next to it. This is great for traveling because you do not need to bring extra paper! Plus the drawings are simple line drawings that she can color as well. I ordered 4 of these "how to draw" books from Barabra Soloff Levy and I am very happy with all of them. I have ordered others that were too difficult, or just not useful but these books were exactly what I wanted!

This is a good book for beginners, say about 5 or 6 years old. My grandchildren love to draw and I wanted to encourage them so I got this book for my 5 year old granddaughter to practice with. I think it has helped her.

The "how to draw" books, I ordered, are great for young artists. I recommend these books for all those young children who love to draw!

i bought this book for my four year old grandson who was very discouraged with the way his drawings were turning out. this little book helped a lot. he enjoyed making pictures that actually looked the way they were supposed to! for the most part, they were very simple, cute and easy for him to replicate. some, however, were a tad complicated, but i hope he'll be better at those when he's a little older.
