Ed Emberley has a unique approach to drawing...one which works especially well with kids age 7 and up. Cute, cartoon-like drawings are put together step-by-step using simple lines, triangles, circles, and squiggles.

Children are delighted with the images they create using Emberley's simple methods...everything from cute little critters to complex drawings. There are three titles in this series, the Purple, Red and Orange Drawing Books...not a sequence, but each title offering kids more and more things to draw. This Big Purple Drawing Book contains a wide variety of subjects, including penguins, pandas and poodles, pirates and old time sailing ships, submarines, a classic battleship and tank, pick-up trucks, robots, swamp monsters, sharks, and many other common and uncommon creatures and things your child will love to draw.
