"Eragon" series and includes all types of dragons, from scaly
brutes of medieval Europe to graceful Asian fantasy figures. Clear,
illustrated and step-by-step enough that a child can follow it, but
detailed, imaginative and insightful enough that an adult can learn
from it as well, this book offers anyone and everyone a simple way
to learn how to draw dragons.T-Rex may be king of the dinosaurs and
the lion may be king of the jungle, but the undisputed, hands-down
ruler of mythical creatures is the dragon. Now, anyone with an
interest in drawing these amazing creatures can follow the program
in this book and learn to do it. Avoiding the 'copy-it-yourself'
approach found in other books, Sandra Staple teaches readers all
the skills they need to create their own dragon menagerie. Every
step is presented with ease and clarity, taking the bewilderment
out of the drawing process and showing that great complexity begins
with utmost simplicity. For beginners, there's a special primer
section, while more experienced artists can dive right in to
drawing the mythical creatures that fill their imaginations.

for this beautifully crafted children's book that tells an
enchanting story.
This book tells the story of the postman Zephyr, who lives in a
little blue village in the mountains where nothing ever changes. A
dreamer hoping for adventures, he travels on a cloud, embarking on
a fantastic airborne journey that takes him to distant and colorful
lands. Eventually Zephyr falls to earth and meets a beautiful young
woman. Together they return to the postman's home village which is
now transformed in Zephyr's eyes and begin their exciting new life
together. Inspired by Chagall's masterpiece, a world of color and
imagination awaits the readers of this book. Paintings based on
Chagall's striking palette and elegant lines help tell a simple yet
poetic story. The book includes a gorgeous reproduction of
Chagall's masterpiece "Les Maries de la Tour Eiffel" ("The Brideand
Groom of the Eiffel Tower"), illustrating a journey of words and
pictures, and introducing young readers to the work of one of the
most popular artists of the twentieth century."
