Young children can and do learn to draw easily with the simple shape method taught in these books. (Learning to see the shapes in things is the first step in drawing a more realistic picture.) These books have great eye-appeal with bright, cheerful illustrations on every page. Each new illustration starts with a simple stroke; all the new lines are done in red. This is one of the simplest techniques for teaching drawing. These books contain beginning drawing lessons and texts for practicing handwriting since many of the same skills are used in both.

Because of the more advanced drawings in some of the books, even older student will love to learn to draw using this technique. Book One is the easiest. Book Five is the most difficult. The other books are similar in difficulty. Books Two, Three, and Five are themed U.S. History. Books Four, Six, Seven, and Eight are Geography and Science themes covering all the regions of the world. Retail value $14.95.
