Kids will use the alphabet to learn how to draw. Children tend to learn how to draw letters first, which gives them great confidence. However, drawing animals can be more challenging. This book uses the already mastered skill of letter drawing as the building blocks for creating a range of animals in six simple steps. Using capital letters and some lowercase letters to start, this book shows children how to draw quirky animals, including sassy llamas, cute chameleons, cuddly koalas, fabulous flamingoes, gorgeous gorillas, and more. Start with a letter and follow the step-by-step instructions. Simple color-coded instructions and dotted paper make it easy for kids to get the hang of it, while lots of space to practice gives them the chance to perfect their new skills. With over 35 creatures to draw, kids will be making wildlife masterpieces by the dozen.
