Learn to Draw Dragons
Learn to Dragons shows children how to draw six incredible dragons, from magical, wicked and flying dragons to fire-breathing, water and Chinese dragons. Each drawing is broken down into seven simple, easy-to-follow steps to help children create, and then colour in, their own dragon pictures. Fact boxes on each spread provide information about dragons, allowing children to learn about, as well as to draw, them. A glossary at the back of the book explains any complicated words, and a 'More Information' section gives suggestions as to how children can find out more about dragons and dragon myths. If children have loved learning to draw dragons, why not try learning to draw dinosaurs, baby animals, fairies, mermaids, unicorns, knights, castles, pirates and pirate ships in other titles in the series?

Learn how to draw dragons in seven easy steps, kids!
Uh, no. Sorry, kids. Art doesn't work like that. In order to learn to draw, you draw, draw, draw some more. If you want your dragons to look somewhat realistic (for an imaginary creature), you need to learn about perspective, proportions, symmetry ... fun stuff like that.
This book has nothing about any of these important foundations of drawing. It's full of vague, completely unhelpful advice like "buy good quality paper." There's nothing about how to tell quality paper from regular paper.
And if you're just starting out, the ABSOLUTE LAST THING you want to do is drop a fortune on art supplies, because your first efforts will suck. That's okay.
But there's nothing about this in this book, which turns out to be just a cheap product tie-in to "How to Train Your Dragon."
The book is also aimed for UK kids, so you don't need to get condoms when it says you need to buy a rubber. Although you never know if it helps you draw. Making dragons out of condoms gets expensive, though. Better save that for when you've got a gallery.
