98,95 kr. Have you heard of Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Big Bird, or the Minions? I have observed children who have the natural ability to draw marvellous, interesting, and captivating cartoon characters like these. However, this book is designed for children who look at a blank page and don't know how to start. Those children are the ones who inspired this book. Children do not need to have art talent to invent their own original cartoon characters. The book follows step-by-step the development of Andy, a unique original cartoon character. The ideas used in developing Andy can inspire and assist children in their own inventions. And once children have their own cartoon friend, what do they do next? Well, they share their creations, talk about them and, using the ideas in this book, develop their personalities and abilities. In a classroom the presence of children's personal cartoons can increase motivation in mundane literary and mathematics activities.

This fantastic tale grabs the imagination and takes it far and wide, on the adventure of not one, but nine, amazing lifetimes.
