Reader feedback:
(5 Stars *****) A fun art book with some great "how to draw" lessons of sea creatures. ... My second graders loved it! (Reads-a-Lot)
(5 Stars *****) I loved the little jokes scattered throughout the book, and the instructions were clear and simple with helpful graphics. I really appreciate how everyone had their own style or flair, but no one's drawings were called ugly or bad because of it. A great way to encourage creativity in kids, and an excellent way to help creative kids learn to see more of the shapes in things they want to draw! (Lily @TheFaerieReview)
(5 Stars *****) Jokes and step-by-step drawing tips are all wrapped up in a fun storyline that kids will enjoy. They could spend hours with this book! So much is inside! (Aaron)
