Frank Rodgers's charming, old-world illustrations drip ghoulish fun for kids wanting to learn not only how to draw their favorite monster (vampire, Frankenstein's monster, mummy, werewolf), but also any other manner of bat, bug or creepy-crawly - with even trolls, witches, goblins and the like getting their due. Illustrations are super-easy for kids to trace or follow, not to mention colorful enough to even make just a read-through fun. And for those of us adults old enough to remember the days or Rankin-Bass and Mad magazine, Rodgers illustrations lends more toward the quirky, messy-edges cartoon characters from Saturday morning TV of yore than the clean, polished-looking computerized characters of today. Nostalgic for adults and spooky (without being scary, even for the young ones) fun for the kids, Count Drawcula's Cartoon Fun is a quick, entertaining introduction to learning to draw your favorite creature of the night. 4/5 stars

Note: I received a free ARC of this title via NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.

This is an amazingly fun drawing book! It takes drawing to the next level, but at a fun kid level -- it teaches more than the usual simple line drawings, but not to the level of the "serious" grown-up drawing books -- it is just right!

This is one of the most fun drawing books for kids ever. It's not your standard pages of line segments. It's about adding color, how to draw slime, etc. play it's in full color.
