   Book Review


From School Library Journal
Grade 3 Up-- Having done a how - to - draw book on just about every conceivable animal, cartoon subject, and moving machine, Ames now turns his attention to drawing sea creatures. He begins with a page of instruction that encourages readers to go slowly and draw lightly step-by-step, keeping a soft eraser at hand. He asks readers also to watch the empty spaces around the lines in order to promote accuracy, and to use a mirror to view the drawing, making mistakes more obvious. This collection includes no less than 11 kinds of sharks and 13 animals of the whale family. The remainder of the 50 animals shown are of a variety of sea creatures. For collections in which it's hard to keep Ames' many titles on the shelf, this is one to consider. --Patricia Homer, Lowville Academy, NYCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
