Good book, but age 5 -6 – 7 is more accurateMy kids like this book. I like this book. Both are important if I’m going to be engaged in any project or learning time with them. I have a 4.5 yr old and a 7 yr old. The book is far more engaging for the 7 yr old. She is a bit of an advanced at freehand drawing and will meticulously copy a picture from a book on to her own paper. She has the concentration and the interest level to know that if she sticks with it, the results will come. The 4.5 yr old WANTS to draw the same way, but simply does not have the control over her drawing instruments. She’s a bright child, but can not seem to grasp the step by step concept of making the shapes that build the object in a frame-by-frame basis. This could simply be because she’s more of an early reader and doesn’t have the spacial awareness yet to copy something she sees from one place to another because that part of her brain is not ready yet, but I’m thinking about the other kids in her day-care class and I know there would be few if any that could follow the steps required to use this book. That said, the drawings are more appealing to the age group of 3-4-5 than they are for what I believe to be the skill level, or age level for this process. Other than the age grading, it’s an awesome book that covers more than just the combination of basic shapes to create something, like a bunch of circles and squares. There are more complex shapes combined to create drawings your kids will be really proud of. My advice, don’t look at the ages printed on the book. Of course, this is a challenge when the kid using it reads the ages and says “HEY! I’m not 3 years old!!” That doesn’t make them wan
