Personalizing notebooks, designing stationery, creating posters, making decorative signs, or just doodling for fun is given an inventive foundation by Clay, as she encourages developing personal creativity. Artistry is often an in-born trait, but anyone can learn to develop techniques to be creative in a variety of ways. While readers are invited to practice various styles of producing alphabet letters for specific projects, they are also shown numerous examples of how the letters might be used or how they might appear in a slightly different form. The text is student friendly and light in tone, providing support and tips for the reader. Each letter style is given a double spread with simple instructions reflected in the clear, colorful illustrations. All of the styles are given names to identify their character, for example: Bubbles, Daisy Crazy, Fancy Font, East Your Words, All-Star ABCs, Holiday, and Superhero Script. The format of the book is designed for young readers and would make an excellent resource for teaching the parts of a book. Including a table of contents, a glossary, a "Read More" bibliography, internet sites through FactHound, and an index makes this title a classroom/library friendly choice. This title is part of the "Snap Books Drawing Fun" series, and should make creating "amazing" letters exactly that—a snap! Reviewer: Sheilah Egan
