| Chidren's Bookwatch Review: Doodle Books |
 "With an informative commentary and quite nicely illustrated by Rob Court, Doodle Books is an eight volume series of instructional books specifically designed and enthusiastically recommended for children ages 4 through 7 (preschool through first grade) to instruct them in the art of drawing simple pictures using basic shapes. The titles comprising this fun and 'kid friendly' series includes: How to Draw Airplanes (1592968031); How to Draw Cars and Trucks (159296804X); How to Draw Christmas Things (1592968058); How to Draw Dinosaurs (1592968066); How to Draw Flowers and Trees (1592968074); How to Draw Halloween Things (1592968082); How to Draw People (1592968090); and How to Draw Underwater Animals (1592968104). Each of these instructional manuals for aspiring young artists takes them from a basic simple shape (such as a triangle, square or circle), to a final drawing in just four easy steps. Fun and easy, the individual titles are available separately ($18.50List/$12.95 Library). School and community libraries should acquire the entire 'Doodle Books' series ($148.00 List; $103.60 Library) of hardcover books with reinforced library bindings for their collections." |
