View on AmazonMore about this book on FirstArtBooksHow we picked
The list starts with the three Christmas books, one for each drawing method and age range, then adds the subjects children ask for most: dinosaurs, pets, robots, unicorns and cartoon faces. The Shape Drawing Challenge is there because the whole family can do it together over the holidays, and the sketchbook makes a cheap add-on to any How to Draw book.
