I have always enjoyed making tiny drawings in the borders of my notebooks at school. And as an adult I still doodle during meetings. This book is for those who love to doodle. It shows you how to make the coolest little doodles and drawings of everything! There are hundreds of people, buildings, vehicles, boats, and animals to draw. An as always no one teaches you an easier way than Ed Emberly! This is the best series of books for learning to draw, and when you want to thinkl about drawing for more than just fun you can move up the the Jack Hamm books, the logical next step after you finsih all of these. As an adult, I still love this book. I love it more now that it makes my 5 year old so happy that he can draw such neat things as castles, with dragons and knights in 2 minutes!

As a grandmother, it really tickles me to have the sons of my sons choosing this book as their "bestest" book. The subject detail and appeal is able to carry over 30 years and offer our 2 and 3 year olds the same hours of pleasure as their Daddys.They also like to see their Dads' names written on the inside covers. Thanks Ed Emberley!

My daughters (ages 6 and 8) could easily relate to the methods in the book, without my guidance.
I am planning to use this book to teach both kids how to draw.
Best thing I like about this book is that it works like a fundamental kids spelling book; -- when they want to draw a horse and cart, they will look for "horse and cart" in the book, start from the basic shapes, then within minutes, they will have a decent horse and cart diagram, and all created by themselves!
Highly recommend.

It all starts with Ed.
I credit many people for the path that lead me to being a visual effects modeler, but it was this book that I read and used over and over as a kid that inspired me to be an artist. Read more

I'm a fan of all the Emberly books and if you have any interest in drawing or if you have kids, I can't recommend them strongly enough. Read more

Great for any age!
I am 13 years old and a pretty decent drawer, and I must say that when I first started drawing from this book I couldn't believe how well Ed Emberley illustrated it. Read more

I have given this book away more times than I can count. Sometimes as an intentional gift, other times I share it with a child in a waiting room or on an airplane, and they're so... Read more
