Huy Ta, C. (2009). Draw manga: 6 books in 1: draw people, robots, fantasy and more. Australia: Hinker Books.
Summary
Everything Manga, art lovers, and Japanese animation fans will ever want and its all jammed packed in one book. These six volumes include everything from learning to draw people, monsters, robots, and even Japanese fashion. Drawings are very easy to follow and even the novice drawer will create something awesome.
Review
Perfect for Japanese Manga and drawing lovers. This book is never on the library shelves and is always sold out in bookstores because it has everything you have ever needed or wanted. This book is great for tweens because it is so hard to find appropriate Manga drawing books for their age group. Parents will feel safe purchasing or checking out this book for their child and will probably sneak a try at their artistic abilities when they're not looking.

Review

It is so hard to find appropriate websites for my tween and I researched this website through and through until I deemed it safe for my daughter. She was thrilled, and I was impressed by the awesomeness of this website. It has everything a tween girl could want, fashion, music, design, and making money! Another great aspect of this website is that tweens can talk to other tweens safely and parents get updates every time their tween access any part of this website. A great way for tweens to express themselves.
