Review:

Thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy of this book. I received this in exchange for my honest review. I liked that the book gave a lot of ideas for kids to try different things and find their inner artist. I'm torn between how it was received. As an adult, I was very annoyed at the way thing's were worded. However, as a book directed towards children I guess I can see how this would be fitting. The language seemed to be directed towards 4-6 year olds. I know my 4 year old wouldn't be able to read it though so she would be counting on me to read it to her. I'm torn.
