Product Description
These titles continue Little, Browns major redesign of all 14 of Ed Emberleys classic drawing books. With brand-new covers and a new vertical trim size perfect for bookstore racks, these books are sure to attract new generations of fans. In the Big Purple Drawing Book, Ed Emberley shows would-be artists how to draw a variety of animals, people, insects, and more using just eight shapes and objects. In the Big Red Drawing Book, he does the same thing using just seven shapes and objects to make all things red. Using the same formula, Ed Emberley demonstrates how to draw animals, people, assorted monsters (ogres, witches) and more in the Big Orange Drawing Book. A different set of monsters appear in green in the Big Green Drawing Book. These hefty drawing books are packed with fun things that kids will really want to draw.

• Pretty Complex 22 April, 2005
I bought this book for my 9 year old step-daughter. She loves art and drawing. I also got the Ed Emberley book of animals, which is great. This book seems cluttered and the drawings are much more difficult. The reading level says 9-12, but I'd say its the upper end of that range.

• Proof Of This Book 06 May, 2005
I am now 26 years old but as a child, I had at least 4 of Ed Emberley's books and my mother would take my brother and I to the library to check out those we didn't have.
I am an engineer but on my way to a degree in Product Design. My brother, while he got a degree in English, was a top student in his art classes. Both of us have used our love and talent for art as adults.
The great thing about this book is that Ed gives you the basic pieces but encourages you to be creative and go beyond the book and make the drawings your own. Many other drawing books only show a specific technique or how to draw a certain object which is discouraging and makes people believe that art has to look a certain way. When the truth is, art is what you like and what you make it to be.
I believe that creativity is crucial and to be encouraged in our youth. I spent hours and hours with Ed's books. They are great for car and plane trips. You couldn't get us to stop making our own worlds on paper!
Shove the computers, handheld games, and game boxes aside and put this in front of your children instead.
