About this title: Broken down into easy step-by-step diagrams, this book shows children how, with a few simple lines, they can transform their own thumbprint into a shaggy dog, a scaly fish, a funny frog, a scary spider, an angry face, a surfer, or even a halloween witch.

"My daughter has really been enjoying Ed Emberley's line of drawing books - she LOVES to draw. And I really like this one because it gave me some great ideas of things I could do with the kids' fingerprints for Mother's Day gifts for the grandmas!"
"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."
