Review

I picked this book up because I thought that it would offer practical advice on drawing. In a way it did. Not in the way that I expected. This book would be a good text to introduce storytelling and writing with illustrations to an elementary school class. The illustrations are completely in harmony with the text, which is the point of this book. The size and shape of the book is appropriate for elementary school children and the layout is creative. The point is that you do not have to have a perfect set of illustrations and the book uses gentle humor and encouragement to support young writers and illustrators.

Overall Book Score: good
