Books with title Pencil, Paper, Draw!®: Pirates

Skulls and swashbucklers, treasure maps and gold: with this fun and easy-to-follow drawing book, kids can create their own pirate world. Slowly, in manageable stages, they’ll learn how to produce some cool characters, along with all the things associated with these seafaring buccaneers. Each page features several numbered figures, with lines to copy or trace that build the picture. Blue lines are the new additions; black lines were done in a previous step; and gray lines are guides that you won’t need in the final illustration. Make a scary pirate flag; a spooky skeleton pirate with a sword; burly and bearded Peg Leg Pete; Rose, the lady pirate; one-eyed Harpoon Hank; and sea monsters, too!

With so many adorable dogs to choose from—from a cute cocker spaniel to a friendly-looking rottweiler—every child will be able to draw the puppy he or she likes best. And the variety also helps build skills, as youngsters master the art of depicting bodies small and tall, long hair and short, pointy ears and floppy, and faces of every conceivable shape.
