The Boys' Doodle Book: Amazing Picture to Complete and Create

My oldest boy loves this book and comes up with some interesting things! I highly recommend this book!

In a nutshell: The Boys’ Doodle Book is a heavy duty art book of creative and thought-provoking pictures to complete. It has sparse, simple text questions that a five-and-a-half-year-old can sound out. Mostly it’s filled with partial pictures and a prompt. Examples include things like: A boy looking over the side of his mattress and the caption: What’s under the bed? A strong looking man in his skivvies and his dog and the prompt: Design their superhero costumes. A page with three fierce lions running as a pack and the question: What are the lions hunting? Followed by a page with the lions looking back in fear and the question: What is hunting the lions? It’s full of pages with vikings and castles, pirates and aliens, pyramids, tunnels, caves and stampedes. It skews “boy,” but without being too stereotypical. One of the first pages my five-year-old turned to had a frightened looking T-Rex that asked, “What scared him?” His answer: A skunk. Actually, a pack of skunks.Why didn’t I think of that?This book has kept him creatively occupied for hours in a calm, educational way, exhibiting model “we’re in public” behavior. Target audience is definitely the 5-7 demographic. The paper quality is great and the pictures are colorful and engaging with lots of white space. Nothing about this book impels one to color inside the lines. One reviewer on Amazon took hers to a copy shop and had them chop the binding off and make it spiral-bound so it lies completely flat. This might be worth it, though after a few days of use it seems to lay flat enough.Families can talk about: Why do you like dragons and vikings so much? Are there enough pages where you can draw dragons? When the boy is looking over the side of his bed and says, “Oh crumbs!” is he referring to pie? Is that why you drew a monster eating a giant piece of pie? Is this like a regular coloring book or better? There’s a list of thirty seven other Doodle books by this publisher… how many hours of mommy quiet time does that equate to? Technically the pages rip out, but you don’t need to know that do you?

Bought this cause my son saw Girl’s doodle at a book fair and was insecure about the title. Not sure why this needs to be gender specific but he likes it none the less. Do we need a separate girls doodle vs boys doodle?! Probably not but hey I guess the marketing worked?!

My 8 year old grandson loves his doodle book. He even wanted to take it to bed with him.

I bought this as a gift for two separate 7 year old birthday parties. I like that the pages are all different and have prompts on them. It helps them be creative within parameters. The book and paper is nice and thick so it will stand up to coloring and use.

This is a great book for young boys who love to be creative. My nephew loves to color and draw but doesn't have a lot of books made specifically for "boy" interests. He loves it and he and his sister work together on the various tasks.

We got this for our 7 year old artist. A friend recommended it who had given it to her 8 year old son. We have since gifted it to two other friends with 7 year old boys. The ideas are fun and creative even for boys that aren’t as creative on their own. I’m curious about the Girl version now for my daughters.

Love this book. My son loves to draw, and this gets him dreaming up new things to draw. He also likes being funny, and this book gives him opportunities to flex his humor muscles. I did not see anything I would deem inappropriate.

We absolutely love these books!I took this to Egypt for my 7 year old son. It keept him in the shade and occupied for hours. It was filled in cover to cover by the end of the holiday. It keeps interest because it asks you to add your own ideas to the picture that has been started. "What has the robber got in his sack", "Complete the alien city","Who else has come to the monster party?", "What is making the king laugh?".It is a big book with good quality paper, if you haven't seen any of this series you won't be dissapointed. I have been known to fill in a couple of pages myself!

Great fun

Ideas to stimulate my Reception class. The children love them. Independent writing has improved for both boys and girls. I will buy similar books.

Bought as a gift, and the boys just loved it. Keeps them quiet for hours.Full of ideas for doodles on each page, which is great and stimulates their imagination.

I love this book for my 9 year old. Doodling in this book is his downtime and it is a much needed break from schoolwork/screen time. There are many pages and the cover shines (looks important and expensive). Great price!
