Building on her enormously popular book, Rapunzel?s Supermarket, Ursula Kolbe takes an in-depth look at the rich possibilities of drawing. Filled with engaging anecdotes that illustrate the often-overlooked social dimensions of drawing, It's not a Bird Yet offers new ways of looking at drawing. Beautifully illustrated, in full colour, it celebrates drawing as a powerful tool for thinking and imagining. It's not a bird yet takes us beyond traditional accounts of developmental stages and gives insight into how children playfully use drawing for various purposes; shows children investigating topics collaboratively over periods of time, brainstorming ideas through drawing and using drawing as a springboard for work with other media; highlights the joys of 'learning to see" through observational drawing; looks at uses of the photocopier, overhead projector and computer as well as simple cut-outs to extend drawing; discusses how you can assist when children ask for help; provides an extensive section on materials, tools, techniques and resources.

A excellent guide for children's drawing. It shows the development of children's artistic minds and methods, and how to appropriate respond to their artistic imaginings as a parent or educator. Definitely recommend.
