How to Draw Pets: Easy Step-by-Step Drawings! (Dover How to Draw) Paperback – February 9, 2006

This is very fun takes me back to my drawing days when I was a kid. I love this book gives you step by step to draw your favorite pets and makes it so easy to want to continue drawing.

Great for children from 5 to....who want to learn how to draw. It is great for parents too😉. One left page with explanations and the right one for your kid to train. Very easy steps to follow and copy. It is nice and fun when it is raining outside. A good opportunity to spend time with your kid and to progressively understand the basics of drawing. You can keep these books for later when your kids will be older, as souvenirs.

I am so happy with the purchase and so is my eight year old son. I remembered having "How to Draw" books when I was a kid and I really enjoyed them so I thought I would buy some for my son. First we check the library (needle in a haystack and long wait list) and we went to Books A Million to try and pick some up right away. Ugh. What I didn't like about that experience was that first of all, the majority of the books were very girl focused (princesses, fairies, ponies, dolls) and though I support my son wanting to use any of those books- he simply didn't. Secondly, the books we did find we either very simple not realistic type picture instructions or on the other end of the scale that it was pre-teen/adult stuff. Lastly, the price was pretty steep per book. We left with one book and very disappointed. So I decide to come online and see what I could find since he did have the one book to tie him over. I did a lot of searching and the Barbara Soloff collection seemed right on the money for what I was after. The books came the other day (one a rainy day no less :-) !!) and my son spent over an hour drawing until his little hand was cramped. They are high quality and afordable with the perfect level with room to grow. So very happy. The selection of books is so wide it was hard to only buy 3! My son has already started combining pictures from each book. My fridge has never looked more beautiful and inspiring :-) .

We like it by why the 4 star? It's not that it's 'simple' or 'basic' .... I bought it for a 7 year old. I mean it's very easy to follow. For that alone I say high ratings.Just very few designs (30). Also, this 'pets' doesn't have many pets. Dog, cat, hamster, and gerbil. The rest are random like sugar glider. Chameleon, pot belly pig. You would figure more versions of common pets rather than 1or 2 ways.This was not expensive and will continue to purchase each holiday for my 7 year old. He does like the (3) and I find that to be worth the $3 something I paid .

Good for kids

Good book for kids to learn to draw.

I bought a couple of books in this series for a little girl for a Christmas present. The books are meant to be used, the paper is adequate, the steps clear. Imagine a basket on a table with one or two of these books, a few pencils or felt pens, and a couple of inexpensive spiral notebooks, in a family room on a rainy or snowy day when the kids are stuck inside. I can imagine that if I had access to something like this when I was a child I might have developed some confidence in trying to draw.

Cute little book to start kids out
