Mini-Review – Pocket Doodles for Kids – a good book for a plane ride

Pocket Doodles for Kids is a fun book for kids who like to draw. When my daughter first saw this book at nine, though she fancied herself a budding an artist, it was hard for her to know what to do. At almost 10 though, she had a a lot of fun with it.

The principle of the book is simple. It’s a lot of half-finished drawings that give just enough detail that a young artist can add on to complete the picture. Depending on the artist, the end result can be a funny cartoon with a caption or just a completed drawing. This is not a coloring book, but a good idea starter for young (or older) illustrators.

We had this small book on a plane ride to grandma’s and it was a good distraction.
