Ed Emberley adds to his popular drawing books series with his paper-over-board Ed Emberley's Fingerprint Drawing Book. An opening spread describes the necessary ""ingredients"" for using fingertips as paintbrushes (inkpads, poster paints, food coloring, etc.); in the following spreads, Emberley leads by example, adding one element at a time to show how to make a frog, for instance, or a bumblebee in ""The Garden"" or animals and birds in subsequent spreads. He also offers ideas for seasons, holidays and feelings. ( Apr.)
