While it's primarily for school kids, it is just plain fun, and a hoot of a creative shot-in-the-arm. It's one of those books I like to just leave around the house. It's that fun. The author, Mike Artell (mikeartell@aol.com) says: " The idea of this book came from some kids! A couple of years ago, I was helping some 5th grade students write and illustrate their own picture books. As we began work on the covers of the books, I pointed out that the kids needed to create a great title, some terrific cover art as well as eye-catching lettering for their books. I began to demonstrate different kinds of lettering the kids might want to use and I was amazed by the response. The kids loved the different lettering styles I was demonstrating. When I saw their enthusiasm, I decided right then to create a book that would show kids how to create their own "cool" lettering. Specifically for all kids up to 99 years old. Seriously!
