My goal is to find a connection to the words I read, a reaction, and perhaps even add a touch of humor to reviewing. I'm finally at the point where I only read what holds my attention, so expect largely positive reviews... and I do round up.

Dogs Puppies: Learn to draw using basic shapes--step by step!, by Emily Fellah
Shh, don't tell anyone but I spent a good chunk of my day trying out the directions and had a blast. I even ventured into creating my own dog, whose breed wasn't illustrated. I was able to pull various characteristics from the dogs pictured, however, to make a very representative drawing of my own Daisy dog. So, whether you're a kid or grown-up-kid, I think you'll enjoy this book.
The directions are simple and easy to follow and the use of different colors for different steps makes them that much easier to follow. All you really need to draw is paper and pencil, though an eraser and colors add to the fun. In the process, if your child is unfamiliar with the names of figures like triangles, this can aid in their learning of those basic terms. Bottom line, this book should be a fun diversion for any child who loves to draw and/or dogs. I know it was a blast for this grown-up-kid.
Thank you #NetGalley and #QuartoPublishingGroup - #WalterFoster and author/artist #EmilyFellah for allowing me to enjoy being a kid again!
