Typical drawing books show how to draw something - a horse, for example, or maybe a car - in solitary splendor on a blank white page. But wouldn''t you rather learn how to draw a complete scene, so that the horse can be driving the car, down a freeway, next to the ocean? So much better! With Draw Your World Your Way, any crazy thing you can dream up, you can draw up. Cats in space, hippos in the lunchroom, pirates on the playground - we''ve got you covered. The book''s three sections are crammed with simple step-by-steps for drawing all kinds of Creatures & Characters, Objects, and Backgrounds. Hand pick your projects to combine the perfect elements for a conventional scene, or flip through the book at random to create complete craziness. Either way, you''ll draw a drawing that has never been drawn before. Along with the hundreds of how-tos, Draw Your World Your Way comes with a pencil, a fine-tipped drawing pen, four colored markers, and a 30-page sketch pad. All you need to add is a little creativity (or random chance) to create a world that''s all your own.

When developing How to Rule the World, the Klutz editors took into account the fact that the average Klutz reader has the potential to be: The most brilliant, hilarious and amazing person ever to set foot on Earth. Destined for greatness. Maybe just a little lazy. Okay, a lot lazy. The editors tossed these realities into a big boiling pot of smartness and came out with the book such exceptional readers deserve: How to Rule the World. This collection of essential shortcuts, tips, and tricks will, when followed correctly, inevitably lead to absolute greatness. And, since it''s from Klutz, you know it''s all in good, clean, world-dominating fun. Did we mention there are shortcuts? Holding the office of most amazing person in the universe may seem like a tall order but with How to Rule the World, it''s a whole lot easier than you think.

Science at your fingertips! People often describe Klutz books as hands-on, but it''s never been this literal before. The Hand Book comes with a life-sized skeleton hand. It''s an irresistible invitation to find out what goes on under your skin. Assembling the 22 snap-together, custom-moulded bones is rewarding in itself. And when you''re done, you''ve got a scientifically accurate, moveable model on a sturdy display stand, ready to help you discover what makes your own hands so remarkable. Working in collaboration with a team of experts, including a hand surgeon, a hand therapist, and a slew of 11-year-olds, the scientists at Klutz Labs have come up with heaps of intriguing, educational and just plain cool hand activities. Test your digital dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Find out what you can do that a chimpanzee can''t. Learn to read the secrets hidden in a hand-fingerprints are just the beginning.

The book comes with eight pages of festive velvet designs, both full-page illustrations and special punch-out ornaments, greeting cards, a picture frame, and gift tags. Use them to make keepsakes, decorations and one-of-a-kind gifts for Grandma. With Christmas Velvet Art, your coloring comes out as warm and fuzzy as the season itself.
