Cartooning can be as easy as 1, 2, 3 and A, B, C! Using material from  Drawing Cartoons from Numbers  and  Drawing Cartoons Letter by Letter , this fifth book in the Christopher Hart Books for Kids how-to-draw series teaches kids a fun way to create 125+ characters.   Start with the number 4—then turn it into a kooky bird! Or transform an L into a zooming, flying superhero. With his simple step-by-step directions, Christopher Hart gives kids ages 4 and up an easy process for learning to draw as they also build their reading, writing, and number recognition skills. Hart uses the numbers 1 to 9 as well as multidigit numerals, and upper- and lower-case letters from A to Z. It’s creative fun at its best!
