Press Reviews
Ever wondered how to draw a giraffe? Or a jumping kangaroo? You need "The Big Book of Things to Draw".
Sunday Express S Magazine - Best for Artists June 2008
If you wanted to buy just one book then the Big Book of Things to Draw, is probably the one for you. It has a bit of everything: how to draw horses, an introduction to paints and water colour, shading, using pastels.
Recommended in Annalisa Barbieri's Shopping Advice - Books, websites and DVDs that teach children to draw.

Big book of things to draw
My children took this book on loan from the library and have renewed it so many times that I thought it was time to purchase our own. I work as a teaching assistant at a local primary school. I am about to start to run my own arts and crafts club. I know I will find this book very useful.

A "Thank you" from Bulgaria
I am a big fan of all Usborne art-books, published in Bulgaria! So are my colleagues and my sister! That's why I would like to say "Thank you" for these wonderful, creative and inspiring tools! We bought "Big Book of Things to Draw" just yesterday and already have 2 pastel-pictures on the wall of our dining-room! As a pedagogue I would also like to say that performing activities, shown in this book (and all the others from the same series) is a precious way to create and maintain relationship with young children and make them believe in their abilities to make the world a bit more beautiful! So, thank you and please, accept my personal and professional greetings!
