Tweens will like this book. I did every exercise myself and enjoyed it. I found the explanations and instructions clear and easy to follow, but not too simple. Kids will really like the projects that Santo includes, like banners and cupcake flags.
Great projects and easy to follow instructions for children and adults. This is an ideal entry level book for those wanting to learn hand lettering and its applications.
