LaBaff proves that drawing cartoon characters and items can be "easy as I , 2, 3, 4!" The projects are presented in steps that require budding artists to try to reproduce non-geometric lines. There is no attempt to teach general drawing skills or suggestion for variations. The resulting drawings are two dimensional, but likely to appeal to children as they are reminiscent of the style of some popular Saturday morning cartoons. After the drawing instructions sections, LaBaff gives guidelines for writing a story inspired by the art and supplies appropriate writing prompts. The books end with a sample story and accompanying illustrations. Most children should be able to complete both drawings and stories with success., School Library Journal April 2012
