Draw Your Way Through the U.S. Capital    by Laura Krauss Melmed & Violet Lemay Order:  USA  Can Duo Press, 2013 (2013) Softcover     Reviewed by Bob Walch Whether you are interested in Washington, D.C., or not, this is still a fun activity book that challenges the person who picks it up to complete the pictures on each page or enhance them in some manner. In other words, you are encouraged to doodle away with any colored pencils you may have at hand. Create a scene inside a full page snow globe, provide the eggs for a scene of the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt, decorate some pictures of T-shirts, or complete a bridge. These are just some of the incomplete illustrations that you can give your own artistic touch to. The fact that the book focuses on Washington, D.C., makes this an ideal before or after activity for a person who might plan to visit the city. Once you are finished doodling you can turn this into a coloring book by going back and adding color to all your creations. Not only will youngsters have fun with this book but many adults will also find it an enjoyable way to spend some idle moments or down time. Doodling can be very relaxing!
