4-6Savvy: Draw Your Own Zendoodles series.
Illustrated by
Pimlada Phuapradit.
In these books, a fair amount of boilerplate content first describes "zendoodles" (an intricate design built from a variety of simple patterns), then introduces tools, materials, and color options. Each volume offers sixteen step-by-step design possibilities and crafts, which should inspire doodlers. Some readers may be put off by the text's overuse of adjectives such as sweet, darling, adorable, and quirky-cute. Reading list. Review covers these Savvy: Draw Your Own Zendoodles titles: Draw Your Own Lettering and Decorative Zendoodles and Draw Your Own Nature Zendoodles.
