Cartooning’s a great form of art for young kids, because it’s so unintimidating: there are no mistakes, only funny faces to create, cute creatures to make, and new ideas to explore. With the help of this newest entry in Lark’s highly regarded art series, children can develop their own original cartoons and go as far as their imaginations will take them. There are plenty of practical tips, lots of hands-on activities to hone technique, and more than 60 original drawings for budding artists to work on. Beautifully designed pages with minimal text completely capture why cartoons are cool, and explain how to draw smiles and smirks, legs and other limbs, pesky pets, funny food, creepy crawlies, and even beloved dinosaurs.

A new entry in the acclaimed series! These bright, beautifully designed pages explode with ideas and instructions to help kids draw what they love all kinds of different horses in action. The left page of each spread guides budding artists through the whole process of drawing a special horse, from mane to tail, while the right side presents the animal in a setting, so children are inspired to expand their horizons and create complete imaginative pictures. And because there’s only minimal text, even pre-readers can follow along. With everything from a sweet mare and a cute colt to a strong stallion jumping, running, and rearing to tempt them, kids will eagerly pick this up and return to it again and again as they grow older.
