The First Drawing

The First Drawing

The first drawing book cover.

Written and illustrated by: Mordicai Gerstein.

Imagine you were born before the invention of drawing, more than thirty thousand years ago.

You would live with your whole family in a cave and see woolly mammoths walk by!

You might even see images of animals hidden in the shapes of clouds and rocks.

You would want to share these pictures with your family, but wouldn’t know how.

Who would have made the world’s first drawing? Would it have been you? (From GoodReads.)

There is a downloadable PDF of activities available from the publisher’s website.

Ages: 3 to 5 years old / 5 to 7 years old.
