Likes: I really like how this program uses media I would not have picked for my younger children. They will use watercolor crayons, soft pastels, oil pastels, charcoal pencils and clay. This is so much more fun for my kids than just crayons and markers! I also really like how each lesson focuses on a particular piece of fine art as part of the instruction.

Dislikes: I think the only improvement could be to make the pictures of the art larger, perhaps in a 5x7 postcard format separate from the book, and an actual spiral binding rather than the comb binding. For the price of the book, I expect better binding.
