Step by step · a great first book

How to Draw: Crusty Goobers 2

Crusty Goobers 2 adds 50 new wonderfully weird characters to the six-step drawing series. The sequel keeps the goofy, slightly gross humor that makes the Goobers different from ordinary cartoon animals.

Intended for ages 5 and up, it gives returning fans more creatures to make and name. A child can use the drawing stages as a guide, then invent an even stranger Goober of their own.

Grid · for careful, puzzle-loving kids

Draw by Grid: Crusty Goobers 2

The second Crusty Goobers grid book adds 50 new goofy creatures for kids to draw square by square. Their unusual shapes make careful looking part of the fun.

Intended for ages 5 and up, it is a follow-up for a child who enjoyed the first Goobers book or simply likes weird cartoon characters. The grid gives those oddballs a clear drawing structure.
