(4) 4-6 Snap Books: Drawing Amazing Animals series. Illustrated by Jason Juta. These books start with a boilerplate introduction and list of tools; slight information on each of eleven animals is followed by four to six wordless step-by-step instructions for drawing it. Encouraging tips in callout boxes vary in helpfulness, but layout is consistent and well organized. The series is recommended for readers with drawing experience as texts do not address proportion or adding color/shading. Review covers the following Snap Books: Drawing Amazing Animals titles: Drawing Ocean Animals and Drawing Wild Animals.
