Start with a Teapot is a cute, retro, engaging, simple drawing primer by Enric Lax. Released 9th Sept 2025 by Lerner Publishing on their Gecko Press imprint, it's 92 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a fun book for all-ages, but especially for youngsters learning and potentially their grown-ups/carers who are trying to up their draw-with-me game for their young family members. It's colorful and full of prompts to sit and just have fun drawing. To draw *this*, start with *that*. Surprisingly, most of them really work pretty well, given the constraints. There are teapots to elephants (see cover), watering can to snail, match to a scooter, and many more.
Three and a half stars. Very simple, but lots of fun. It would be a good choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, or gifting packaged with a drawing pad and some pencils or markers.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
