I brought this book for my 5 year old, and it has quickly become her favorite. She loves to sit a create pictures following the step by step illustrations to create a cat, a pig, a wizard, a dragon, a rocket, etc.

This book is absolutely fabulous! My daughter received it as a gift for her 4th birthday. She would sit and draw every picture. She is now 6 and still loves it! This book is so easy for any child to use. The step by step detailed pictures show the child how to draw the picture from start to finish. It is not like some books that skip steps. This outlines every single step, your little one will not be disappointed!

This product, and the others like it "I Can Draw Animals" and "I Can Draw People" are incredible! Just a year ago, I was able to pick my son's artwork out of his entire class: It was the unfinished or poorly executed one. Then, he started bringing some wonderful drawings home from Kindergarten. I asked him who drew them, and he said he did. I was shocked. Then, I found out his teacher has this series of books. The teacher told me that my son eagerly thumbed through the books when given a drawing assignment for ways to construct characters. My son - the one who was drawing stick figures a few short months ago! I quickly ordered the entire series and now we have a "super silly art gallery" in our home. He loves to draw now. I realized that he just didn't know how to get started before. He even lent the books to his older cousin that needed to draw a wizard for a school project. Now that he's more skilled, he is able to draw great things even without referencing the books. I am amazed and so very pleased.

This book was perfect for my 5 year old. The step by step drawings were easy enough for her to do. There are many different drawings to choose from. It is a favorite of hers.

I just got through my first year of teaching and this book was really fun for some of my kids who lack confidence in drawing. They were able to have great success with the ideas in this book.

This book is cute to look at, easy to follow, and the colorful, fun pictures are wonderful. We have this for my son, but all of his friends (girls and boys, 6 years old) want to draw everything from every page and they can do it very well. Steps are simple to master for ages as young as 4, and the book helps build confidence because the kids can really draw what is shown. Variations are easy too. Perfect book to have laying around to encourage children to try drawing. Great gift idea!

My 5 yr old daughter loves this book, she is always asking me to get it for her. The directions are easy to follow, the illustrations are so beatifully made and it's a full color book. My daughter's favorite drawing is the princess ballerina; she has made over ten of the same and now she is adding her own details. I highly reccommend for any child in the 5-9 age range.

Although, we seem to use I Can Draw Animals and I Can Draw People more, this book is also great. My 4 year old daughter and my 4 year old nephew received these for Christmas. They both use these books for hours and we also do it as a family. These (I Can Draw Animals, I Can Draw People, What Shall I Draw Today) are the only ones we have so far, but they are super. Not only are these books teaching my little girl how to draw, but reinforcing time alone drawing, group activity, sharing and "Please pass the yellow", etc... Every child should have these books.

The instruction is simple and easy to follow and all makes sense. The minute I saw it I knew it'd work. The minute my 6 years old daughter laid her eyes on it she fell in love with it. Not only can she draw a lot better than before, even I could use some help from this book when requested by my 2 years old son to draw a truck. Is there any more book like this?

It's been two weeks since we gave our six year old girl this book. Last night she still was using it to draw a rocket ship. She loves it.
