Super cute book about teaching children to draw and lines and shapes. Perfect for preschool or kindergarten, or as a homeschool art supplement!

This creative book is perfect for young readers. The book ignites imaginations as it teaches kids about all the possibilities that lines can morph into. Their potential is limitless. Lines can be thick or thin, be curved into circles and ovals, turn corners to make squares, triangles and rectangles, trace the flow of water of a river and carry the notes of a joyful melody, just to highlight a few.

Kids are encouraged to experiment with different tools and materials and play around with lines taking them wherever their imaginations venture. The book will inspire kids to try their hand at becoming an "artiste extraordinare". I love books that are a call to action... fun action... that kids will respond to eagerly. I highly recommend this book.

Once again, this author and illustrator have done it again with this book on lines! Another book for elementary age and younger children to teach them about lines and all that can be done with them. Comparisons of lines in sizes, lengths, what you can make and more pull this book together to show at the end that lines and colors create art. We just use our imagination. My daughter really enjoyed this one, as did I. Lots of colors and patterns to talk about and discuss. And at the end of the book, further education on writing tools and other supplies you can use to create lines and art.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, author and illustrator for allowing me and my child this electronic version to read in exchange for my honest review.

This was a really cute book about art and its many possibilities. I could see this being a fun book for young children with its colorful and engaging images.

I received an electronic ARC from Chouette Publishing through NetGalley.
Delightful book that challenges young readers to brainstorm and experiment with how a simple line can become so much more. Yemen demonstrates how important geometric shapes and figures are in a fun fashion to engage elementary level readers. Further information shared at the end for readers to do their experimenting and creating.

Thank you for the opportunity to review an ARC of What Can You Do With a Line? in exchange for an honest review. I will also be posting on Goodreads, which I will link in the submission. If you would like additional posts, such as on retail sites or Instagram, please do let me know.

This children's book is about the ways in which people can use lines to create. The description applauds the potential of lines and the ways in which they are used, such as simple shapes to everyday objects. One thing that stands out to me about this book is the explanations of shapes and drawing. I like how the versatility of line drawing is shown, and the potential for using various types of art supplies is a fun reminder for kids about the application of what they learn while they're reading.

I would suggest this for art classes for kids.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

This book reminds me of books by Peter Reynolds. It is fantastic! The book would be a great introduction to making basic shapes and drawing. I can't wait to buy a physical copy for my classroom!

What Can You Do With a Line? This is a fantastic book for young readers! It helps teach and illustrate a number of concepts and has interactive activities to get kids drawing. The illustrations are fun and simple as well, showing kids the magic that can be created with simple lines and drawing tools.
Many thanks to Chouette Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

This is a cute book for teaching children about drawing and shapes. It will definitely fuel creativity in my Preschool classroom!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced digital copy of this book!

Thank you to the author and illustrator, the publisher, and NetGalley for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

What a fun little book! A little blob of tangled black lines tells kids all the different things they can do with simple lines. It starts with long and short, thin and thick lines, then morphs into shapes, becoming more complex as the book goes on. It works very well as a simple story, and I can absolutely see this making little kids giggle and want it read out loud again and again just because of how amusing it is, but I can also see this book inspiring future artists to pick up a pencil (or crayon) and let their imagination guide their hand.

Unfortunately only available as pdf, unreadable on my Kindle. Looks great though, an appealing cover.

a cute imagination catalyst for preschoolers prompting, as the title indicates, "what can you do with a line?"

while the general art style is cute, and while i appreciate the message the author/illustrator duo was going for, the overall picture book feels inconsistent. some pages are adorable and work with the words to create a fun and spread to explore (one page creatively has a river of lines flow into a musical staff). other pages are a little confusing, sometimes due to the wording (though that could be explained due to the translation from turkish), sometimes due to the art (e.g. the colors on page about colors have a completely different texture from everything else in the book). i also wish the book had taken a little more time exploring what happens when you combine shapes and colors (though i am aware that the duo have also created a book called "what can you do with a color?" that ostensibly explores more, at least in terms of color).

ultimately, i was not blown away by this picture book. however, the suggestions at the end for approaching art projects would be a welcome addition to the arsenal of any adult who needs to keep a child's mind active and engaged!

thank you to netgalley and crackboom! books/chouette publishing for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is very cute and would be perfect to read to a toddler or someone young. The book talks about how all things are formed from lines, in simple terms with very cute illustrations. The lines are thick and thin, different colors, and then form all different shapes.

At the end of the book are activities that you can do with your child with drawing lines - use different writing utensils to make different types of lines, make shapes with lines, etc.

The moral is make anything you want with a line! Be free and draw what you like and this book encourages creativity for young children.

This is another book by the talented combination of writer Gulsah Yemen and illustrator Capri Odabashi. This is just as wonderful as “What Can You Do With A Color”.

Most every parent can give a decent explanation of colors, but what about lines? This book came up with so many different ideas! “ lines can curve into circles!, Lines can bend into ovals. Lines can turn corners and make squares and triangles”.

After the cute little story the author encourages the child to use different tools such as pencils, crayons, pastels, paint! “Circles can become the wings of a butterfly. Rectangles can become a house and it’s door” this is accompanied by illustrations.

It’s no wonder these books are wonderful, the writer has been a preschool teacher for 12 years and the illustrator is a trained mechanical engineer. Together they make an absolutely fun look into the world of lines.

My words do not do justice to this book, you have to see it to enjoy the entirety of it!

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley
This book is set to publish on October 20, 2020

Will post to Amazon and Barnes and Noble upon publication

This book reminds me of other titles with a similar premise, such as the dot.
It's a great way of introducing different shapes and colours to young readers in a fun, engaging and non-threatening way.

What Can You Do With a Line? by Gülşah Yemen is a cute Book. Yemen shows different objects drawn from lines. The illustrations by Çağrı Odabaşı are very colorful and great. The book encourages children to draw and shows how different art supplies yield different results. The end of the book encourages children to draw with different supplies to see the results. Then the book

I recommend What Can You Do With a Line? to children especially children interested in drawing, coloring, painting or other art.

Thank you NetGalley and CrackBoom!Books/Chouette Publishing - Caillou for What Can You Do With a Line?

Teaching children about drawing, shapes, and colors while fueling their creativity, this is a delightful little picture book. I love how it provided tools for children to think about drawing.

A cute book, something to help kids learn to think outside of the box.
Not as good as the book by the same authors about colors, but still something that every little kid should read at least once.

This is a cute book about lines and what all you can make out of lines. They change shape and color throughout the book.
