Review by Booklist Review

Cuteness ahoy in this entry into the Learn to Draw series, from kittens and chicks to bunnies, puppies, lambs, and frisky foals. After a single page of required materials, Eason gets down to business: six four-page chapters explaining the steps of drawing your own replica of Santillan's wide-eyed, Disneyesque creatures. This takes the time-honored tact of beginning with broad geometric shapes and lathing them down to specifics; e.g., that box and combined with those triangles gradually become a kitten. The last two steps add brilliant colors, though how to replicate those shadings and highlights remains largely a mystery. Still, a patient drawer who responds to this style of instruction will have plenty to internalize.--Kraus, Daniel Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by School Library Journal Review

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. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
