Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Faces (Ed Emberley Drawing Books) Library Binding – Illustrated, August 2, 2006

My grandkids and their friends love Ed Emberly’s books. They are very suitable for their ages and the instructions are very easy for them to understand.

My eight year old grandson loves books by this artist. He loves art and uses the book often for his creations. Well done!

I purchased this for my Granddaughter who is 8 years old.I also purchased, "Make A World", and "Drawing Book Of Animals" for my other Grandchildren, 12 years old and 6 years old. They found them to be very fun and at the same time help their creativity and taught them some things that they found to be very exciting!All they needed was the book, a piece of paper, and a pencil. They were happy for at least an hour!!I highly recommend this book that will keep your child (or adult that always wanted to doodle!) occupied and at the same be so fun!!!

Wish it'd be available in a hardcover but that's ok.

This book is full of clever and fun ideas! Instructions are simple, clear and easy to follow.I bought this to use with my toddler and pre-schooler but I think it would be much better for a slightly more 'experienced' crafting age bracket...there are tons of neat ideas and sooooo much potential for fun :) I will be keeping this in my library and enjoying for a loooong time to come!

I had these when I was a child and used them all the time. When I started teaching in the elementary school, I quickly sought out these books and bought them. My students absolutely love them! They are constantly wanting to get the books out to do art projects. I think that they are great tools to help kids learn shapes and to incorporate those shapes into drawings. I cannot recommend these highly enough!

After having grown up myself, flipping thru the Ed Emberley books, I was really excited to introduce the series to my own children. The steps are straightforward and easy for small children to understand. Upon receiving the book, I chose a simple picture of a little girl with curly hair, from the first page, to draw for my daughter, so that she could understand the symbols and how they were added step by step to create the pictures. One example seemed to be all it took for my 5 year old to become hooked on this method of drawing! Riley and her "Faces" book have become practically inseparable, and I've noticed that all of her drawings now include the little details of realistic facial expressions. The grandparents love her homemade cards and the school teachers find her art skills "advanced" for a 5 year old. Its a great resource for non-artistic parents too, that want to add charming doodles to boring brown paper lunch bags, or thank you notes for friends. I can't wait to purchase more!

This book lets kids figure out how to make faces that express emotions as well as fun characters to illustrate their stories in class.
