Pocketdoodles for Young Artists inspires creativity by helping readers make their own comic strips, draw skyscrapers, invent new machines, design delicious new recipes, and draw their very own masterpieces. The sky's the limit!

All you need are  some sharpened pencils, a few crayons and your amazing imagination as you draw and write in this playful new book. 

Inside are all kinds of  interactive picture and word prompts that will encourage youngsters (and their parents) to write, doodle, draw and color on the pages. For example, you’ll find storyline doodle pages on which you are given picture elements and instructions on how to complete the drawings.

Some examples:

• Help Michaelangelo paint scenes on your bedroom ceiling.
• Draw a creature with the body of a lion, the head of a dragon, the wings of an eagle, and the tail of a serpent.  Oh, and it breathes fire, too!
• Design a house for your pet.
• It’s the Fourth of July! Draw fireworks in the sky.
