She immediately wanted to color and create masterpieces to hang on the wall after reading the book! How cute is this?! Copyright 2020 Valeria Wicker, JIMMY Patterson Books All in all, THE UGLY DOODLES is inspiring to young artists, as I witnessed with my 7-year-old daughter. The doodles and the masterpieces look like something a child could do. Where were they were going to pop up next and could Raven get rid of them? The illustrations in the book are fabulous! I love how Raven is drawn and the color choices and feel of the book. My kids loved the little bit of spookiness when the drawings keep moving to new locations on their own. It’s reassuring for kids who often think they simply “lack talent” if it doesn’t come out right the first time. Why I Like This Book: I love this message that creating art is not something that happens on your first try, but after revisions. When she tries to hide the doodles away, they come back to haunt her until she figures out what they need.
