This ingenious book with colourful illustrations throughout takes everyday things — such as ink blots, fingerprints, paint drips, screwed up pieces of paper and even coffee stains — and encourages children to transform them into extraordinary things. Ink splats become aliens or bonkers birds; a piece of paper becomes an iceberg filled with penguins, and a page of palm prints becomes a herd of elephants. Children can let their imaginations run riot and, with only basic drawing skills, they can create unique masterpieces.

Ye Olde Doodles is an eye-popping, head-chopping, jaw-dropping collection of pictures plucked from the past -that children can create and complete. Buster's most popular doodle artist — Andrew Pinder — a trained arc-haeologist and an expert in prehistory has brought his uniquely quirky style to this excellent doodle book that makes history fun. The doodles form a timeline, stretching from Ice-Age mammoth hunters to a Y2K shelter, and include famous moments in history from all over the world. Children can let their imaginations run wild, no drawing skills required.
