This review is from: How to Draw Funny Faces (How to Draw (Dover)) (Paperback)

In the heat of the day
With the breeze of a fan
When your child wants to draw
And you say that he can
And he wants to draw faces
Yes, faces so funny
So you take out this book
(Which costs so little money)

And he opens the book
And he flips through the pages
With cartoony sketches
In various stages
Then his little brow furrows
With pencil in hand
As he tries to find faces
Not ugly or bland

"Mummy," says he,
"These are all rather cheesy
Some are quite hard
And some are too easy
The clown is too sad
And the vampire sucks
I think that I'd rather
Go draw me some Trucks"

I looked at the book
And I saw what he meant
Although younger children
Might well be content
I'd hoped it would show
Faces happy and sad
Or laughing or yelling
Or angry or mad

It lacks inspiration
The drawings aren't nice
You get what you pay for
At such a low price

This does not have the most interesting cartoon characters but it is a book that kids can pick up on their own & do very basic cartoon faces without any help.
