Children and adults can learn a lot from this book on drawing characters. I can't draw at all (children got that talent) but even I could follow along and it came out pretty good. If you want to draw bunnies, ducks, combination creatures, funny animals, imaginary animals this book takes you through it. This book will appeal to any child with its humor Pants or no Pants section and Boogers and Snot section. I recommend this book for age 7+ yr olds. Especially for the aspiring young cartoon artists.

Though this book is directed at kids, I think someone of any age who wants to learn to draw illustrations could benefit from the information and examples here. Young discusses breaking down animals into the necessary elements to be recognizable (for ex, a bunny's ears or duck's bill and webbed feet) as well as creating your own imaginary animal characters. Deciding how stylized you want to make your characters is discussed and the author's drawing process is illustrated. Young also shows how to design a character with your intended characteristics (cute, slouchy, etc). Additional sketch poses are available on the author's website. This book would be a great jumping off point for a kid (or kid at heart) to get started with illustration.
