Review:
The synopsis says this book is for all ages, and in theory that is true. However, most adults would take one look and say, "nope, it's a kids book". It's not that the instruction is bad, it's that the drawings are THAT simple and in a child's style. Adults may find the included items like trees, fish and houses cute for doodling, or for adding to an envelope or card, but not for anything other than casual doodles. Kids on the other hand will love how they can take shapes and make fun animal characters. It's perfect for elementary age kids to learn basic drawing- they can use it for school projects and summer art skills!
