This book is a fun one if you like art! I for example, love art so I find this to be a very neat book. I️t isn’t exactly a lot of reading. There are steps to creating drawings. There are about 10 different animals and the book teaches you to draw them so if you have a student who enjoys art then I would have this book in your classroom. You might even learn a few things.

This book is pretty cute and my 5-year-old and I had fun drawing with it. The images are almost a little too cartoony, but it was appropriate for my kindergartner and we had fun with it.

Lots of critters! Excellent for a beginner if any age!

This is a great beginner’s drawing book for K-2. My six year old drew every sketch in this book. The step by step instructions were perfect for his age.

I have never seen a drawing book so easy to understand at such a young age. A great way to get confidence in drawing!

This is definitely a begining book. I bought this thinking of my 6 and 8 year old boys who already love to draw and it was just not advanced enough. My 4 year old loves it though.

This book is great for young kids who are just starting out learning how to draw. The directions are very easy to follow.
