My Take on the Book
If you have a child who enjoys drawing and especially animals, this could be a perfect gift for that child. There are 28 specific animals to learn to draw in this book. Not only does the author include a photograph of the animal and step by step instructions to drawing the animal , but also interesting facts about the particular animal.

Some of the animals in this book are: elephant, giraffe, lemur, kangaroo, onyx, and baboon.

The author instructs the artist concerning the needed materials to draw the animals, such as paper, pencils, markers or crayons, pencils or colored pencils, or even paints. There is also specific information about using recognizable shapes in drawing the animals' features.
