(2) K-3 Designed to look like an old notebook, this is a shout-out to frustrated doodlers. Black-and-white pictures drawn with a Sharpie marker initially demonstrate the narrator's self-professed lack of skill, but as the pages turn, he begins making pictures that tell stories. With simple tips and funny captions enlivening the pages, this glimpse into the joys of practicing may encourage hopeful young artists.
