Drawing books are a favorite, and this one includes all the animals that kids love. It is appropriate for any age, whether it is beginning adults or older children. I liked the use of color, as many books like this are done in black and white.

Many art books, this one included, assume that the user has a basic level of artistic practice or intuition. This might be frustrating for a beginner who doesn't have a good sense of perspective or shape. Perhaps an introductory section or earlier reference could deal with this potential problem.

This may work best as a "parent and me" style reference, where the parent can read and interpret the instructions, and they and the child can create an animal together. The title makes it seem like this is geared toward children, when the language and drawing style may be frustrating for the younger crowd.

A good resource, especially when supplemented.
