Super adorable how to draw book, starts with animals and then moving through food, hobbies, and all kinds of things. Definite nostalgia for me to “how to draw” books that were at school book fairs in my childhood, but the sheer cuteness of these critters makes me feel not so weird to be an adult following step by step instructions on how to draw a cat or a chicken. (The chicken was far more successful than the cat: do yourself a favor and have an eraser handy when initially drawing to avoid the frustration of not being able to find an eraser when you want to just fix that one line.)
I have no idea if this is marketed to kids, but I found it enjoyable as a 30 something woman with so-so drawing with a non-digital tool skills when I haven’t been drawing on a regular basis in general who likes cute things. Definitely would recommend. It may not help in terms of someone immediately wanting to develop their own artistic style - but is helpful in terms of breaking down a complex animal or object into simple shapes and building to the final beastie one step at a time. And drawing tons of things is a step on the way to developing your own style, generally. The animals I found the most interesting part of the book personally, but seeing everyday objects broken into simple shapes was neat.

This book is adorable! The drawings are cute and simple. Each is done in 4 steps: not too slow, but also not "Step 1: Draw a circle. Step 2: Draw the rest of the owl." It is something I really enjoyed drawing out of, and something that's simple enough for kids to use too! I gave a couple to some 6 six year olds to try and they turned out so cute!
If you love cute animals or things with cute faces, and want to learn to draw them, this is the perfect book! It delivers on exactly what it promises: cute and simple drawings that start with a potato-like shape.

This is exactly what it sounds like. A big book to help anyone draw cute animals, food, etc. It is a little more fast pace then many drawing books, but it works well.
