Book Overview

Broken down into easy step-by-step diagrams, this book shows children how, with a few simple lines, they can transform their own thumbprint into a shaggy dog, a scaly fish, a funny frog, a scary spider, an angry face, a surfer, or even a halloween witch.

Every child WILL love to create and draw!

As a child who loved to draw - but was all "thumbs" in drawing - Emberley's Thumbprintbook was an amazing gift. Suddenly, I could duplicate the art in a drawing book and then go on to create my own shapes and creations. As I got older, I moved onto his other wonderful art books (such as Red, Puple, Orange, Green), but my thumbprints always remained my favorite.This is a simple but enlivening art book for preschool and elementary school aged kids. I used it over 25 years ago and it is still a huge success with kids today. Don't miss it!

FOR ANY CHILD AFRAID OF ART.....

For any child afraid he or she cant draw well.... just buy them this book, and watch how much pride they have in what they can accomplish. This book is very basic and shows little characters you can make with a thumbprint (or circle or blob) but dont let your "limited adult imagination" think that is just a few things... there are TONS of things you can draw!!!!!! and they are very easy. I think this is a perfect first drawing book...or for a child who is already convinced that "I cant draw" i hear kids say that and i think its so sad.... this book is really a positive thing :)

A great one for younger audiences.

All the Emberly books are worthwhile, and this one is definitely skewed toward the younger side of the 4-8 age group. Even younger than four will enjoy this. If they can hold a pencil and draw dots and lines, they can make drawings. In fact, younger kids might enjoy just making the thumbprints and watching you turn them into people and animals.Older kids may grow tired of it quickly but that's okay, becuse the Green, Orange, Red and Purple Emberly books are for them!

Excellent gift idea!

I had this book as a child and recently rediscovered it. It makes an excellent gift for a young child with a few art supplies. I have found children 3 and up to thoroughly enjoy this book. Highly recommended.

Excellent Activity Book

This is one of the greatest ways to unlock your and your child's imagination. Everyone's Thumbodies are different, yet this simple guide to turning your thumbprint into art helps everyone have fun. All you need is a stamp pad, a pen and fingerprints to have hours of fun. Decorate your letters and certificates with your own personal touch.
