Sweetest drawing book of all the best summer things!

From cute pool floats & ice cream cones to hot dogs and surf boards this is the perfect summer book for kids! I love how there are some easy pictures to some more challenging ones so both my 6 year old & 8 year old can enjoy this book!My son loves the fun trivia facts under each title too! We purchased a copy for my nephew in Canada and he was so excited to start drawing! Thank you Alli for another great book! 🖤

A work of “Art”

This book is absolutely genius! I (an adult) enjoyed looking at how she broke down each object to draw- but more importantly it was fascinating and fun to watch my neighbours kids (age 8 & 10) “get to work” on “doing it better” than the other- It has been a few hours of quiet time, and they are thrilled with their budding talent!Thanks Alli!!

Best purchase of the summer!

Such a great coloring book - I also got the spring one but OMG the summer icons are so fun and i love that they are a little different, unexpected. I got it to keep at my house for when my nephew visit or neighbors come over for a big kid activity. I am going to have to get a few more cause its been a hit so far!I love all of Alis books - I have used her floral drawing books for my own artist practices. I love that she has material for all ages! Thanks for making cute stuff !!!!

Such a FUN book!

I LOVE this book! My niece and nephew were who I had in mind when receiving but I have just as much fun as them coloring the pages. It is the perfect size for easy packing and traveling to the park or beach with it in hand. The pages all have different and unique art to color and learn which keeps it interactive and interesting. You can tell this book was made with thought, fun, and care! I cannot wait to purchase many more of Alli's books.

Learning to draw made easy and so fun

I got this and Alli’s “how to draw spring things” for my 4 and 14 year old cousins and we’ve had LITERALLY the most fun!!! My favorites to draw so far are the flowers and beach stuff, the 14 now loves to draw shells, and the four year old LOVES to color (and she can officially draw a cherry, she was SO proud!!) it’s been such a fun bonding activity for everyone who participates!
