I bought this book for my 5 1/2 year old who is always asking me to draw with her. Unfortunately, I am a less than average artist. This book is fantastic!! It presents a step by step method to produce an array of different faces that even my 5 yo can follow. It is a "must have" for her on plane and train trips. More importantly it provides a simple technique for those of us non artists to achieve a consistent result (that is acceptable to our harsh young critics). I would also recommend Animals by the same author - similar style.
