This book is well worth having in your drawing library. It isn't just a few animals on a lot of pages. It's page after page of all kinds of small animals from dogs and cats to frogs and snakes to bunnies and all sorts of other little creatures. There are drawings of critical parts of the skeleton and how it occupies the body and skin. Many drawings focus on those parts of an animal that makes it what it is. And then there are drawings of the parts put together, and more drawings of the whole from different angles. For the artist in need of an almost encyclopedic animal reference, this book is well worth the money. Happy drawing! 😃
