Whimsical, appealing projects spring like magic from the hand of illustrator Freddie Levin as she shows young artists how to create charming animals from simple shapes, such as eggs, ovals and circles. Each step toward the finished drawing is gradual and fully explained. Kids can choose from a menagerie of favorite subjects, including anteaters, armadillos, bison, deer, elephants, giraffes, hippos, jaguars, kangaroos, koalas, lions, orangutans, pandas, platypuses, polar bears, reccoons and more. Information about each animal helps make the book educational as well as fun.
