"Ed Emberley starts where most elementary-aged kids are at (stick figures) and brings drawing to the next immediate level of complexity. No shading, still just two-dimensional, but able to capture more of the world. Children tend to be very methodical and formulaic in their drawing--what they haven't seen others draw before, they tend to lack the imagination and talent to figure out (on their own) the technique for rendering it in a recognizable form. What most need is an engaging mentor that will help them simplify the complexity down to something they can comprehend and replicate. Children naturally enjoy creating their own worlds and stories through art, and this author-illustrator increases their repertoire, bringing more joy to their fingertips. While a natural artist who wants to make things look realistic may feel stifled by the approach, it will teach him/her to use basic shapes to create forms, to have an eye for detail, and to use boldness in graphic art to create impact and communicate clearly one's ideas. I would strongly recommend each of his color-themed titles (orange, purple, green, etc.), as well as his finger/thumbprint books and his "make a world" book. All will bring smiles and inspiration to young artists ages 5-12."
"This book is fantastic for everyone! This book is full of so many great ways you can use a fingerprint to make amazingly creative pictures. I think this would be an amazing gift for helping to develop/inspire the creative juices of anyone. This little creations can liven up wrapping paper, or be used for a card, magnets, quick notes, and the list goes on. I think this is a must have for every home library, especially for kids and crafty people! I didn't say artistic - yes, you CAN be crafty even if you think you are not artistic. EVERYONE can make these cute fingerprinting creations with ease, and it can even be used as good relaxing therapy, along with coloring, painting, and stamping other shapes other than your fingers."
"My kids LOVE this book. You don't have to be too creative or much of an artist. Great for a summer afternoon while the baby is sleeping. Even my too cool for most things, 12 year old thinks it's fun."
