Open any page in this award winning book (LIANZA Elsie Lock Non-Fiction Award
2008) and you are faced with a cornucopia of ideas and with enough stimulation
to want to begin drawing at once. This is a reprint (by Dragon Sauce Books)
and was first published by Reed Publishing (NZ) Ltd in 2007. At that time I was
working with a group of 8-12 year olds in the Kiwi Conservation Club (Forest
& Bird) and I remember how
much pleasure and help we had from it. I feel this is the most handsome edition
of the book to date and who could resist page 7 with its details and photos of
the materials the artist is going to need – pencils and brushes/ rubbers/
sanding blocks/ the ‘heavy, stable water jar’?
This should be available through your local bookshop but if
not go to: www.dragonsaucebooks.com
Recommended.
Year 4 up/ Age 8 up (but younger children will have much
pleasure from it with an adult’s guidance).
Look! It's done it again! See earlier post.
