This is a really cute book of how-to draw and paint "super cute" animals. The illustrations are much like the cover, but the book assumes a certain amount of drawing background/knowledge/talent for where it's at. The author does assert (several times) that drawing is a matter of practice, practice, practice. The steps aren't going to make you magically go from a novice to a professional artist, but the onus is on the reader (the drawer?) to hone their skills using the advice from the book as a tool for direction.
The parts I found the most helpful were about drawing fur and shading. The book also gives good instruction about the different types of tools and paper that are available, and pros and cons of each.
