D Is for Doodle by Deborah Zemke uses the alphabet itself for inspiration in doodling and sketching. This spiralbound paperback demonstrates how to make cartoons utilizing simple lines, squiggles and curlicues added to capital and lowercase letters. Inventive doodles include a lion with a ""leaning L"" for a gaping mouth as well as a swoopy skateboarder whose body is based on a curvy ""S."" (July) .
