My son is an insect lover and loves to draw as well. My Nana got this for him for Christmas and he loves it! Drawings are easy to follow for his age(6).
This book has many pictures of all types of bugs and insects from spiders to grasshoppers, to ants and dragonflies. A lot of the pictures are geared toward young children and appear to be cartoony to me. They are fun to draw and would make a fun activity for any preschool or daycare. I purchased this book for myself but ended up giving it to my son as it was more for his younger age range. The illustrations on how to draw each critter are easy to follow and in just a few simple steps. This would be a great gift for any young person just starting out their art career.
For the first time in my life, I can draw insects that are recognizable by others. The book was very easy to follow. The illustrations were excellent for my purposes. The only drawback, not enough insects.
Developmentally appropriate for my 5 year old. He loves it. Although it may not teach my preferred method of drawing (I am an artist and an art teacher) it does a great job demonstrating how to make simple, yet interesting drawings in relatively few steps (3-5each) by building on each step without needing to erase or re-draw anything. Perfect for building confidence in a beginning artist, or just somebody who likes making simple bugs without more developed concepts.
Would recommend this book for anyone wanting to draw insects. My seven year old was so excited when he got this and has drawn almost all the insects already. Simple and easy steps to follow which result in fantastic drawings. We own a lot of the how to draw books by Barbara Levy, but this one is a favorite.
I like teaching ELLs with books that favor interactions. It helps them move out of reading aloud to talking aloud. Activities such as drawing and talking about the process are ideal for them. I use this book for all ages of beginner ELLs when in a thematic unit on bugs and tiny animals.
Was very happy with the book. Grandaughter loves insects so she was happy with it also. I think the book was well done.
this is a great beginers book, kids loved it and are showing great talent in art, this book will help alot
