What a charming and whimsical book!  My five-year-old son loves drawing, so I’ve taken to doodling along with him.  One of his favorite things to draw is our family, complete with our dog, so I thought this would be the perfect book to try out with him.

The book is divided into four parts.  The first part is full of quirky things like lists (including signs you’re a dog person – “Your pockets are full of poop pick-up bags”), dog facts, and a dog alphabet.  It also has several pages of example dogs and dog faces, demonstrating different characteristics and emotions.  The meat of the book is the 30-some pages in part 2 where you learn how to draw several species of dogs step by step (French bulldog, dachshund, bichon frise, greyhound, collie, and poodle).  Part 3 experiments with hats, patterns (a tie-dye dog?), a series of anthropomorphic dogs (including Lucky the Lab Technician), dogs in costumes, dog houses, and dog toys.  Part 4 is a series of templates of already drawn dogs for you to doodle on.

It’s super cute, and suitable for children as well as adults.  My five-year-old got a kick out of drawing dogs with hats, and loved looking at all the various dog doodles.  If you’re looking for lots of detailed step-by-step guides, I think you’d be disappointed.  Instead, it kickstarted our imaginations (astronaut dog! alien dog!) and provided a fun afternoon full of giggles and doodles.  I think this would make a super cute gift for any fan of dogs and drawing!
