And now, my review:
The Little Book of Cartooning and Illustration by these various authors was so fun to look through and pick one and try it out.  I felt they gave quite a variety to choose from and with all sorts of expressions and feels.  It was truly fun to choose different ones.  Some I had to try more than once to get the right look, but that can happen with any drawing book.  If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.  I had a digital copy of the book so the extra pages to practice on didn’t affect me at all. 
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
