This is a sweet little book to help kids (and adults) gain confidence at drawing fun little characters with ease. I did some of the exercises with a young friend and we enjoyed the little creatures we created.

I recieved a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
This is a cute step by step drawing book. She shows you how to draw food, animals and inanimate objects. One of the cutest from each category: bok choy, giraffe and alarm clock.

The description of this book made me laugh - Fun fact - a lot of animals are shaped like potatoes. Another fun fact - potatoes are easy to draw. Another another fun fact - if you can draw a potato, you can draw animals.

I'm pretty sure I can draw a potato but I would have been less sure to tell you I could draw an animal. However, Katie's book includes 200+ lessons for drawing super adorable stuff. And while I didn't try out drawing anything while checking this book out, I did find some things I might like to try eventually. Since basically everything in this book is a super, super adorable and oh-so-cute cartoon version of cute animals. And other things. Like vegetables. Because vegetables are totally cute, right?

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

As a new grandmother, I am looking forward to being able to write and illustrate stories for my grand-daughter as she gets older, so this is just the sort of easy-learning guide I was looking for. . The drawings are fun and easy to copy, even for a complete beginner, whilst the amusing commentary by the artist supplies all the encouragement you will need to try out your creativity.
