Editorial Reviews

Gr 4-7A welcome title to fill the ongoing demand for books on art instruction. DuBosque includes step-by-step directions for drawing 31 animals from grassland areas around the world. Some of the animals are familiarelephants, buffaloes, giraffesand some are unusualthe olive baboon, the giant anteater. The author/artist uses the technique of beginning with ovals representing the head, abdomens, hip joints, etc. These ovals are connected by lines to form the characteristic shape. A clock face at the beginning of each drawing helps students tilt and position the ovals effectively. This book is a useful addition to the series and to other standard titles of drawing instruction by Lee J. Ames and Ed Emberly.Jean Pollock, King Country Library System, Seattle, WA
