I have recently re-discovered the awesomeness of Ed Emberly. Who is Ed Emberly you ask? He is the author of a plethora of drawing books for kids. He is probably most famous for his thumbprint book. At least that's what I remember the most. I remember getting that book from the library and busting out my mom's ink pads and making thumbprint drawings.
I mentioned these books in one of my link roundup posts last month, and have since been keeping my local library system busy with ordering a few Ed Emberley books every couple weeks.
Eli's dragon (left) and my dragon (right). This was the first week I drew along with him. I think it helped a lot to keep him interested and engaged, as well as to help him see how to draw in addition to the book's directions.
I may just need to buy some of these books for myself.

Love those books. They are so east to follow I have used them with several of my children's classes. I have the Halloween one
I have a couple of these books and I found them at Goodwill. Keep your eyes peeled! :) Hope you are doing well... I "stalk" you on a regular basis :)
