Draw with: book review

If you like drawing, colouring and hundreds of stickers, which both my children do, then I have two great book recommendations for you today.

You Are An Artist!

Based on the best-selling picture books, I Am An Artist!, this unique new sticker activity book is your chance to get creative and make art with the award-winning Marta Altes. A truly exciting sticker book, which shows you that anyone can be an artist – it’s easy – and what’s more, it’s a lot of fun! Packed with colourful, smart and silly ideas plus hundreds of stickers, all designed to get you making art and making a mess.

Let’s Go Find a Tiger!

You’ll have a real expert as your guide as you step into the jungle – and the exciting world of story creation. Yasmeen Ismail starts the story, but she’ll need your help to complete it by drawing, colouring and using the many colourful stickers to create some truly incredible jungle animals. So sharpen those pencils, crack open those felt tips and prepare to get sticking! It’s time to find monkeys, elephants, crocodiles – and if you’re very lucky, a tiger!

These books are specially designed to encourage a child’s creativity and show that anyone can can tell a story. These are perfect for my 5 year old who has recently discovered he loves to draw. So far he’s been mainly drawing minions but we’ve been reading these books together and it’s great to see him trying new things and thinking outside the box.

Draw With: Marta Altes You Are An Artist, and Draw With: Yasmeen Ismail Let’s Go Find a Tiger, were both published 30th July by Macmillan Children’s Books priced £7.99.
