K-3Looking Glass Library: I Like to Draw! series.
Illustrated by
James Penfield.
Step-by-step instructions and diagrams lead aspiring artists through the process of drawing a variety of people and objects. Baltzer's directions are clear and concise, and sidebars and appended facts offer bonus bits of nonfiction. Whether Penfield's illustrations are intentionally childlike is unclear; while his style may be reassuring to beginners, more experienced artists may find his odd proportions and unsteady lines off-putting. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Looking Glass Library: I Like to Draw! titles: Cars and Trucks, Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals, Dogs and Cats, Monsters and Other Mythical Creatures, Pirates on the High Seas, and A Royal Court in Its Kingdom.
