I Can Draw Animals (Usborne Playtime Series) Paperback – January 1, 2001

A friend recommended I get this book for my 4-year-old. This is an outstanding book, and even I got to learn how to draw some animals! Ha, ha! Yes, and I'm... well over 35. Anyway, I can't recommend this book enough. It's a fun activity that you can do together with your kid or for your kid to do on his or her own. Or, if you're like me, spend a few minutes mastering some drawing skills yourself. Lovely depiction of different animals and easy to follow. You may need to provide some hand-over-hand assistance to your child if your child gets stuck. That's normal.

Got it as a spring break activity book for my 5 year old who is very much into drawing. Saw a monkey drawn on the wall the next day and knew where it came from :) So definitely easy to follow for kids.

Granddaughter who is 4years old was so excited with this book. She looked at each page with more and more excitement. The colors are bright and bold. The book shows step by step how to draw a toddler's favorite animals from the trips to the zoo. I did buy some felt markers so her drawings would be bright and colorful as the ones in the book. Thank you for a learning tool at a great price and fast shipping.

My five year old loves to draw and color. This book proved perfect for her. The instructions are simple enough for her to follow without assistance. This allows her to draw every animal in the book on her first try, improving with each effort thereafter. Some drawing books seem to advanced for young children proving frustrating; this one, on the other hand, is easy enough to allow confidence and challenging enough for her to continue to grow her coloring and drawing skills.

VERY simple methods of drawing animals. I've used this several times in classroom, and the kids can follow along very nicely.

This is our favorite Usborne book. My son is 4 and he loves these I Can Draw books. We have quite a collection of drawings now. They are great basic books that show step by step how to draw animals. Five steps and you have a great basic animal your kid can be proud of. Also has versions of the same thing or ways to elaborate once basics are learned. I LOVE this book!

I've never taught my 5 year old to draw anything, she just looked at the step by step pictures and did it herself...this book is great, brought out her potential for art. She has fun making up her own stories now and drawing her own characters.

We purchased this book based on the recommendation of a teacher at your child's school in order to help further develop basic drawing skills. The images are easy to follow and reproduce. Highly recommend to others.
