How this kids sketchbook sparks ideas

Each page offers an easy way in, so a stuck moment turns into a monster's breakfast, a flying car or a castle up in the clouds. Four guides break a cat, a fish, a flower and a snail into six small steps, with every new line drawn in pink, while ten finish the picture pages give your child a head start.

Six comic strip pages invite kids to tell stories of their own, and a gallery index plus a super artist award at the back make completing the book feel like a real achievement. Nothing is dated, so any page can be printed again.
