Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals (Ed Emberley Drawing Books) School & Library Binding – 1 Aug. 2006

Every parent and teacher should have this book - your children will be amazed at your ability to draw animals! It's such a lot of fun - suitable for children of any ability and for adults who want to illustrate and amuse. Brilliant!

Good series - easy to follow steps.

A very simple method of drawing great looking animals. My daughter loves it and takes it to school with her every day in her book bag on the off-chance that it might rain and she'll get to do some drawing. Highly recommended.

I bought this as part of my 5 year old niece's Christmas present. She flicked through it, and immediately went to get some paper. She then spent about 20 minutes (which was a considerable amount of time when there were other presents to be opened) drawing some of the different animals.I now have a wonderful tiger on my fridge - and a husband who wants another copy!

I bought this as and other books in the same series as I want to animate a children's story that I have written - I can't draw, but I had thought that drawing simple human faces and figures would be easy. I found that it was - however, with ththe "Faces" book I have already created a series of drawing of my main characters and as part of the story is set in a zoo, this book is proving to be very useful.

This is a nice wholesome, book for kids to enjoy which provides hundreds of fun, simple drawing templates , in step by step form, for fun depictions of animals, which are a little more caricature than purely realistic.While at an adult friend's birthday party in a pub not so long back, I noticed someone's 7 year old daughter was engaged very quietly and productively in a drawing book on her own, and thought it would be a good and absorbing book for my own daughter ( who also happens to love animals- perhaps they all do?)It has that slightly old school, 'sesame street'-ish charm to it which is uncomplicated, lo tech and fun.Unlike some activity books which get written in, or the stickers used up etc, this book is designed to be copied onto your own paper so has the potential to be used again and again, and become a good 'go-to' book when you need to engage your child in something fun.She has loved it right from the start so I can only recommend it.

My son loves this book,it's full of great examples how to draw lovely and spooky animals.I got the same book also for my niece so now the children draw animals all the time and they even got some new ideas for different animals.Highly recommended!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my boss, renowned for her awful doodling skills. Ed Emberley breaks drawing animals down to the most basic of levels - maybe unlikely to impress the most creative people but it certainly amazed me with how simple drawing can be! Highly recommended for children and doodling adults alike!
