Review: Terrific Book! - Highly recommend this book for "kids" of all ages. The author does a great job with his approach to creating great images that are easy and fun to do! Review: A Reprint of one of the Best How-To-Draw books EVER! - This edition has a new cover, but the red thumbprints and "ivy lou" are straight from the original, which could not possibly be improved. I still have my 1977 copy, which has black writing/drawing and red thumbprints. Although rainbow colors of washable ink pads are widely available now, you don't really need more than one color of ink (like the cover of the book, which makes me think of Easter eggs). My ink pad was red because that's the color we had in our office/school supplies that wasn't black. My drawings looked just like the book and red makes the black pen/pencil marks for drawn features stand out. I think any color that isn't black would work. Black or other dark colors would make it hard to see your marks, but feel free to use your kid's favorite color or whatever you already own in any medium shade. The color isn't important - it's just Step 1 to give you a shape to work with. Fingerprints are easy because they are already on our fingers, but if you fear inky kids, they could use any stamp, or a carrot or potato, or scrap shapes cut from other paper, to make the body shapes. But don't sweat it too much. Even permanent ink wears off a kid in a few days. This is one of the first You-Can-Do-This books for art I ever owned. And I only needed office supplies we already had, so no trips to the art store or special tools needed. One ink pad, some paper (pretty much any paper - empty the recycle bin at work if you want), any pen or pencil, and a couple of inky fingers is all you need to follow the step-by-step instructions to make any of the figures he shows, and about anything else you can think of. It's a few very short and do-able marks between blank page and identifiable drawing, even for little kids. (Or for us grown-ups who swear we can't draw.) I cannot recommend it enough! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #90,023 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #82 in Children's Art Techniques #203 in Children's Drawing Books (Books) #1,800 in Children's Coloring Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (514) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.45 x 11 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 2 and up | | ISBN-10 | 0316789682 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0316789684 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Ed Emberley's Drawing Book | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | June 22, 2005 | | Publisher | LB Kids | | Reading age | 3 - 7 years, from customers | ## Images ![Ed Emberley's Great Thumbprint Drawing Book (Ed Emberley's Drawing Book Of...) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91dVKdng6jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific Book! *by T***1 on August 2, 2023* Highly recommend this book for "kids" of all ages.

I cannot recommend it enough! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great first Ed Emberley book *by L***Y on June 4, 2014* I got this for my 5 year old for his birthday since I so fondly remember learning to draw things from the Ed Emberley Animals book when I was a kid. These are so fun and easy for young artists that he really got engaged with the book for about an hour. Then my 7 year old came home and wanted to try. Then both kids cut out their cute little creations. We've had the Ed Emberley Weirdos book for a while, which hasn't gotten much use (maybe a little advanced?). But after using the Thumbprint book, my 5 year old got out the Weirdo book and gave a few Weirdos a try. I highly recommend this Thumbprint book for your kids or to buy as a birthday gift for a child. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ed Emberley's Great Thumbprint Drawing Book - ED EMBERLEY'S COMPLETE FUNPRINT DRAWING BOOK - ED EMBERLEYS ANIMALS --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2741655-ed-emberleys-great-thumbprint-drawing-book-ed-emberleys-drawing-book](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2741655-ed-emberleys-great-thumbprint-drawing-book-ed-emberleys-drawing-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
