How to Draw Pets: Easy Step-by-Step Drawings! (Dover How to Draw)

good value and a good step off to learning how to draw animals, well-illustrated

My great granddaughter loves it

Enjoyable for kids

I bought this drawing book for my 5 year old nephew and 7 year old niece to give to them for Christmas later this year. It is a nice book. It has more options of animals to draw than just your average pet. Animals you can learn to drawn include dogs, cats, hamsters and other small critters, a variety of birds, a ferret, a horse and pony, hermit crab, and other unique pet animals like sugar gliders and pot belly pigs. There are others as well. The nice thing about this book is that it can be shared and reused if you use an extra sheet of paper when drawing. Personally, I don’t think it is the best learn-to-draw book I have seen, but it is pretty good. There are some animals that I think my niece and nephew will have trouble drawing, but others look easier. For the price I paid ($3.80), it really is a great deal. I am sure my niece and nephew will enjoy their gift and many other young people would like it as well.

Just another art drawing book I have purchased for my students in school. They love to draw, ask for help, and I don't draw!I think these books will help them with the basics and they can grown from there!

Really good step by step guide to drawing pets. My 6 yr old granddaughter loved it.

I am so happy with the purchase and so is my eight year old son. I remembered having "How to Draw" books when I was a kid and I really enjoyed them so I thought I would buy some for my son. First we check the library (needle in a haystack and long wait list) and we went to Books A Million to try and pick some up right away. Ugh. What I didn't like about that experience was that first of all, the majority of the books were very girl focused (princesses, fairies, ponies, dolls) and though I support my son wanting to use any of those books- he simply didn't. Secondly, the books we did find we either very simple not realistic type picture instructions or on the other end of the scale that it was pre-teen/adult stuff. Lastly, the price was pretty steep per book. We left with one book and very disappointed. So I decide to come online and see what I could find since he did have the one book to tie him over. I did a lot of searching and the Barbara Soloff collection seemed right on the money for what I was after. The books came the other day (one a rainy day no less :-) !!) and my son spent over an hour drawing until his little hand was cramped. They are high quality and afordable with the perfect level with room to grow. So very happy. The selection of books is so wide it was hard to only buy 3! My son has already started combining pictures from each book. My fridge has never looked more beautiful and inspiring :-) .

Cute little book to start kids out

Purchased for my daughter. She looked at it once and lost interest.

Perfecto!

Ordered for my 10yr old son. He loved it. Really easy to follow and he has done some fantastic drawings with it

These books are really awesome my 7 year old loves it so much!

Bought this as a present for my niece, she loves it!
