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.

Even the little one is sitting down to try and draw the funny faces . The parents are having fun too.

I was expecting much more from this book. It rehashes the same expressions over and over again. No directions on how to actually make a funny face, such as changing the expressions of features i.e. raised eyebrows, crossed eyes, dimples at mouth, funny ears. I was disappointed and wouldn't buy this book again.

When my grand daughter comes to visit, I like to create a fun environment for her. I bought "How To Draw Funny Faces" for her, and she loved it. Usually she spends no more than 10 minutes on a project or game, but she spent close to an hour drawing the various faces in the book and then hung them on my refrigerator. Great for kids to learn to draw and fun.

delivery took longer than i expected but for the very cheap price of purchasing this book used it was worth the purchase. I would of never paid full price for this product but used for less than a $2 the book was well worth it.

I ordered this book for my 5 year old and it is a lot of fun. The steps are very easy to follow, something I have found not to be the case in other "how to draw" books. Enjoy.

entertained my 10 year old nephew for hours as made faces for everyone he knew...

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.
