Oodles of Doodles Paperback – September 24, 2013

I got this as a gift for a 9 year old and a 5 year old. It's totally great for the younger set if you can help them or if they can already read them prompts themselves. I think 9 is probably the oldest child I get this for because it's a bit simplistic. It has a good variety of prompts. The lines are a bit dark though, so they may be a little hard to draw over. Overall, it's a good choice for a kid. I also love that it's not gendered like the "doodles for boys" ones. My daughters don't just want to doodle about shoes and puppies, and my son doesn't want to just doodle about rockets and cars, so the books that cover the spectrum are much better.

My step-dad had a ruptured brain aneurysm and survived a craniotomy. When he was well enough to come home from the hospital, he was physically better, but his personality had reverted to that similar of a child. I ordered some of these doodle books, and he took to them immediately...doodling in these books really was all that he wanted to do for the first couple of weeks that he was home. He would even get up in the middle of the night to doodle. The books have the start of a drawing, and urge the reader to finish the drawing using their own creativity. My entire family was amazed at my step-dad's drawings...we didn't even know he knew how to draw! Three months later he is 99% back to normal, going to work, driving, AMAZING! Thank you to the author for this ingenious product.

Arrived in perfect condition and looking through the book I realize how much my 7 yr. old Grandson is going to enjoy "finishing" the pictures to tell his own stories. He loves art class and this will keep him busy for hours and hours. Can't wait to give it to him for Christmas.

We care for our 7 year old neighbor girl a couple of days a week. She loves to color, but doesn't care for the lack of imagination that a regular color book restricts her to. This gives her a chance to exercise her imagination while giving her ideas to get started.

Really like this book. I am going to carry this in my substitute teaching bag for when kids need something to do. I can give them a page. You cannot copy the pages but for the child who gets their work done first and needs something quiet to do at their desk this would be great. Great quality paper and great variety too. Very impressive! They should make a product that we as teachers can copy as the kids would love this.

Purchased this for my son when he was 5. He loves drawing, so this book is great as it gives him ideas for what to draw and then allows his imagination to go wild! Once this book is complete, I will likely buy another version. The book is quite thick, so it will take him a while to go through with all the possibilities for pictures. We take it with us on all our trips!

OOdles of Doodles. I am not pleased with this book. Do not like the content. It is not what I expected.

The Doodle books are very creative and interesting. The Boys Doodle book, Ooodles of Doodles, and the Halloween Doodles books are high recommends from both me and my children. Very Impressed. Hours of fun, amusing illustrations, suitable for a boy or girl of any age, great as gifts. You will not be sorry with this purchase! I wanted to start drawing in them myself!!

Great for my 5 year old . Lots of entertainment

We bought Oodles of Doodles for all the young boys (6 to 10 year olds) on our Christmas list last year. What a hit. Most of the parents have made a comment about how engrossed their kids got. Some went all out to make a complete work of art, some just had fun making the pictures silly and cruised through quite quickly.I thought that my little boy of 4 would be too young, but as long as someone is around to tell him what the words say, he really enjoys adding his little stick people and animals to the pictures.I also bought the Beautiful Doodles book for all the little girls of our friends and relatives. That was so popular that I've had requests for the Fantastic Doodles book for birthday presents.

This is a great book - it is big in size, thick, very good quality and the doodles are very well drawn (or rather partly drawn as the idea is for you to complete them or use your imagination to add to them). I also like the fact that the pages are perforated and can be removed easily. Great fun for all ages!

nice to do some doodling

We like this range of doodle books and have most of the range, my 6 and 9 year olds spend hours using their imagination, for a change. They are great for us as parents to really get in insite into how funny your kids minds are!In a time of games consoles and computers your kids realise when taken back to basics, they really can have fun.
