With 1-2-3 Draw Cartoon Cars, Steve Barr serves up an irresistible and colorful collection for artists of all ages. Starting with a Silly Car reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, he proceeds to cover basic body shapes: sedan, square car, van, station wagon, antique car - and then heads into more exotic racing and sports cars. Some vehicles include drivers (including the Rat Racer, driven by - you guessed it! - a rat), while others become the characters themselves, with bumpers or windshields sporting smiles. While the art is all done in pencil in deference to the elementary school environment, Barr encourages exploration of inking as one's skills develop.
