We purchased this book as a Christmas present for our daughter, who had just turned 5. Since she began preschool, she has been coloring and drawing a lot. We also purchased an inexpensive children's sketchbook and a 12-pack of Crayola colored pencils (note to self--the 12 pack doesn't include pink). She spent most of Christmas day with those three items.The book has a full-color story on the left side of the page; while the right side shows the steps of how to draw an element of the story that was just read. At first, I sat with her, read the story, and then would verbalize the steps the book illustrated (you start with a small circle for the head, then go up and over . . .). Once she had colored in her picture, she got a reward sticker to place on that page spread (they come in the centerfold. I removed them before we began drawing). At first she would say she couldn't draw a ______ by herself. I would remind her that the book would teach her. We went step by step, and she was delighted to discover she could! Later, when I had to step away to do some Christmas chores, she analyzed the next how-to-draw page, and became confident as she did it herself.In the week+ since she has finished the book, I have seen her sketching the butterflies, flowers, etc., the way she learned them in this book. It has been a great joy for her to learn that she can draw new things that are interesting to her.The 11 drawing lessons in this book are: ladybug, apple tree, sunflower, bumblebee, butterfly, turtle, bunny, bullfrog, snail, unicorn, and four-leaf clover.As a bonus, the book has a fold-out drawing pad. Each drawing pad page has a partially completed drawing. This is especially good for chldren who lack skill or confidence. I think most kids will love the drawing pad. My daughter preferred her sketchbook (probably because Mommy has one, and hers is off-limits).Incidentally, we also purchased A Magical Fairy World, in the same series, at the same time. My daughter enjoyed doing that book as well. While all the books in this series all say ages 4+, I did find the Fairy book to be more advanced than this one was. Since she had gained confidence with this first book, and learned to patiently break down the shapes, she was able to be fairly successful with the next book. That said, she will sketch butterflies for fun, but has not re-attempted a prince or a knight's helmet!I look forward to purchasing more books in this series. I feel these are age-appropriate for children ages 5-9, approximately. The monsters, dinosaurs and space aliens may appeal to my 3 boys.
Most of this book is blank pages to draw on.Much of this book is stickers.Only a few pages of this book actually show how to draw.The book is certainly pretty and presented well, but the title is deceiving.
My 4 year old daughter (and her friends) have been able to draw and paint using this book! It is very easy to use. Her older brothers (8 & 9) were very impressed with her skills and had to borrow her book :-)
Wow! I am so happy with these books! My 5 year old little girl loves anything artistic. I ordered this book for a plane trip and she insisted on workign through the whole book - it kept her busy for almost the entire flight and then she had a masterpiece to show her grandparents when we arrived. When I got home I ordered additional books from this series and some extras to use as gifts. The step by step instructions were easy for her to follow and it really built her confidence that she could draw things on her own.
My 6 year old can't get enough of these books! I bought her a bunch of them including this one for Christmas. They make great gifts and are perfect for her age. A smart 5 year old with a little help could figure them out too and great for older kids.... up to maybe 9 or 10.
they do not have many pictures to draw but its still really cute and my daughter liked it. she already nos how to draw bumbo bees and butterflys but she (as we speak is grabbing it to work on the horse first thing this morning ) the reason I gave it a 4 star is because when it was delivered to me it was put in a box to small an you can tell they had to force it in the box so its bent a little , and my daughter is 5 if anyones wondering.
I bought this for my 8 year old daughter and she loves to draw! She was very excited to get this book. The instructions are very easy to follow and there are activities and stickers in addition to the drawing instruction. My little artist is pleased.
I bought this for my 6 year old to learn to draw. She can draw almost all of them now. She loves it. It has super easy illustrations that she can copy easily. I bought her a few of these books but this one seems to be the easiest to learn from.
