Drawing Cartoons from Numbers and Letters

Numbers and letters aren't just for counting and spelling anymore. Learn how to draw more than 125 lively cartoons with this collection. Each one starts with a simple number or letter, and easy-to-follow instructions show you how step by step. It's as easy as 1,2,3 and A,B,C!

Start with the basic number 4 and then turn it into a kooky bird or a kid in a panic. Or take an L and see it become a zooming, flying superhero. With his step-by-step demonstrations, Christopher Hart gives kids an easy process for creating cartoon characters like animals, dragons, and robots . . . and for building their reading, writing, and number recognition skills too. Hart uses the numbers 1-9 as well as multi-digit numerals, and upper- and lower-case letters from A-Z. It's creative fun at its best!
