Draw Me a Star is a colourful and entertaining picture book from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, that teaches children about drawing and creativity.
The artist begins by drawing a star, then the star asks him to draw a sun, and the sun asks him to draw a tree and soon the artist has drawn a whole world.
As children follow Eric Carle's words and pictures, they will learn to understand and enjoy drawing themselves. This is the perfect book to introduce one of the essential creative activities of early childhood.
