For older children 
2008-08-28
I bought this for my 7 year old Nephew because he likes to doodle and draw. This book was too complicated for him. He likes Ed Emberley's other book.
7r old loves it

My 7 yr old is a bit of a perfectionist and easily gets frustrated with his drawing abilities. But he really likes this book. It's fun for him because it's monsters and such and it shows "how-to" really well.
Ed Emberly's Drawing Book of Weirdos 2008-04-03
I work with kids so these books are great! My grandmother gave me a whole set of them when I was little and I absolutley loved it! The "how to draw" directions are so easy to follow. Great for almost any age!
my students will love this 2007-11-25
I teach art to many levels and the students already love the Big Purple Book and The Big Orange Book. This will quickly become their favorite!
I taught myself to draw with Ed Emberley! 2007-10-28
Ed Emberley is amazing. This book is great for Halloween or those times when you want to draw a monster or two. I taught myself how to use Illustrator and Ed's books are a great resource because of the way he simplifies each drawing. Don't fear, this book can be used just as well with pencils, crayons or markers.

Ed Emberley, who can show anyone how to draw anything, gives monster-crazed artists the perfect how-to manual in this newest addition to the Ed Emberley Drawing Book Series.Previously published more than twenty years ago in two small two-color volumes, these works take on a scary new vitality in this large full-color format.Perfect for summoning up the ghosties and ghoulies for Halloween posters and party invitations, this is also a book that is sure to satisfy the appetite for frightful creatures all year round.
Easiest books to use to learn to draw 2005-08-27
Ed Emberly has made some wonderful books for kids and grown-ups of any age that have no drawing skills, but want to learn a simple way. His books are the easiest books to get you started if you have no previous drawing skills. He starts with a step by step illustrated lesson to draw one simple item. First a simple straight line here, then insert a circle then, then another line, step by step along the way and before you know it you have a completed drawing that you can be really proud of. I teach Cub Socuts and this artist makes the perfect book for teaching a class when you are a volunteer yourself that is not an art pro.
In this one, he teaches us to make monsters of all sorts like a witch, wolfman, Frankenstein, vampire, Also see his book, "Make a World", and "The Big Green Drawing Book". If you want more Halloween related drawings including cats, jack o'lanterns, and a full haunted house, try Ed Emberley's "Big Orange Drawing Book".
