ED EMBERLEY'S BIG PURPLE DRAWING BOOK
illustrated by Ed Emberley
Emberley starts this off with some water play—a "Nessie" family, alligators looking up out of the water, a person (a pair of upside-down legs) diving into the water, and so on—and, as step-by-step drawing books go, the sequences are jaunty and clever. Pandas, poodles, and a few more animals made with circles complete this latest, unexceptional installment in Emberley's seemingly endless series.
