I like animals and I have many weird and wonderful pets. If I tell you what they look like, will you draw pictures of them for me?" Dr Colin has many animal friends. In this book, you'll find amusing descriptions of what some of these animals look like, what they like to wear and what they get up to. By reading these descriptions and then drawing pictures of these animals, you will learn about the different word types you need to use to make your own writing come to life. At the end, you'll get a chance to put what you have learned into practice by imagining an animal that Dr Colin might have as a pet and writing a description of it. This 'Learning By Drawing' book from Pictish Beast Publications is designed to help children, aged six and older, develop their word and writing skills, their knowledge of grammar, their drawing and coordination skills, and their imaginations, all while having fun!
