Smithsonian Drawing Books series.
Illustrated by
Juan Calle.
This collection of step-by-step instructions details how to draw thirty different types of dinosaurs in a sweeping style that involves only five steps to complete each one. Action and perspective are included, which will appeal to older children who can reproduce some of the more complicated poses. The pages also have small illustrative paintings and some facts to describe each animal.
