Gr 3-5 Eight cartoon-style figures, creatures, or items are drawn in five steps: base shapes, three additional line-drawing steps, and final colored-in illustrations. The exercises are not, for the most part, based on geometric shapes, which reduces the extensionality of the skills being taught. However, good drawing tips (repeated in each volume) and suggestions for more projects may coax readers to move beyond the exercises in these books. Introductory pages offer a little reading practice. Good for early readers who enjoy copying cartoon characters and need encouragement to branch out.
