Drawings of People by the Under-5s [PDF ebook] 

This work traces the development of the human figure in children’s drawings, showing how children add to and alter their figures as they get older and more skilful. It discusses why children’s drawings often seem so bizarre to adults, revealing what these figures tell as about the child’s Intelligence Or Emotional Stability.; The Book Is Based In Examples From hundreds of children, but concentrates on a particular set of drawings gathered from one group of children attending a nursery. Also featured are drawings by children with learning difficulties, so that readers may see and learn from the different developmental patterns in the drawing of human figures. Additionally, the book makes comparisons of drawings by children in different cultures.
