This book takes the reader through the basic terms and techniques of calligraphy. Step-by-step projects are highlighted to provide a fun and creative way to familiarize kids with different mediums and techniques. These activities take the "how-to" further and really encourage kids to explore and expand their own artistic talents. This title is perfect for beginning artists! Checkerboard Library is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
This is a very small and simple book. I do not think this is bad at all, as it is for children and is written and marketed to children. It shows them with very detailed colored pictures how to make basic calligraphy strokes to get them started with proper form. Since it is simple, if a child develops an interest they will quickly want to move beyond this book, but this book is a great started book just to see if they would develop and interest. I have done calligraphy in the past and wish I had something like this when I started!
