Title: Everything Butt Art at the Zoo: What Can You Draw with a Butt?
Author: Brian Snyder
About the Book:
From hippos and ostriches to alligators and chameleons, kids will be amazed at what they can draw beginning with one simple shape: a butt! This giggle-inducing activity book teaches step-by-step drawing in a way that is fun, engaging, and approachable. Fascinating facts about each character accompany colorful illustrations and activities like connect-the-dots and crossword puzzles keep kids’ attention between drawings. If drawings and activities aren’t enough, Butt Hunt is the search for all the hidden butt shapes. Distributed by IPG.
My Review:
Who knew that butts could be so popular with the younger crowd? As soon as my three children laid their eyes on this book and discovered that they could actually draw animals starting with a derriere inspiration, they were hooked. It is actually an ingenious way to inspire children to start drawing and my six year old son took the process of creating his animals very seriously, despite lots of laughing out loud at the hilarious characters. I was very impressed with the end results of their drawings and they had a blast bringing a zoo full of animals to life on paper. Each animal featured in the book includes fun facts and interactive questions and most importantly it has step-by-step instructions to draw it. There are other fun activities including word games, mazes and puzzles to keep children engaged.
Everything Butt Art at the Zoo: Step-by-Step Drawing Activities by Brian Snyder and delightfully illustrated by Alexis Moniello is a fantastic idea for rainy days, long car rides, sick-time activities or for children who love to draw.
