Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 2–5—These titles provide precise, detailed, and clear instructions for drawing high-interest subjects. Each book includes six projects, and all of them can be completed in seven steps, beginning with a basic outline and ending with a colored final presentation. Information about the subject of each drawing is presented in a paragraph before and after each activity. For example, the instructions for how to draw a knight with a coat of arms are followed by facts about the code of chivalry. The colorful illustrations are large and vivid. Drawing books are perennially popular, and these should prove no exception.
